Yes, I'm seeing the expected behavior and times of a couple of seconds. That looks normal. Thank you.

Still not working.
For simple testing I used API Explorer (https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-api-v2-explorer/#files_list_folder)
Getting the content of a folder within my dropbox account and the cursor.Then I'm using the longpoll with this cursor and 30 seconds timeout (https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-api-v2-explorer/#files_list_folder/longpoll) and then I deleted a child folder within the previously mentioned folder.
Longpoll times out with "changes : false".
Also the Dropbox integration within my APP still isn't working.- Thomas_4 years agoExplorer | Level 3
And it looks like, if I'm refreshing the Dropbox web page, the deletion evt is eventually triggered and my longpoll is returning with "changes: true". But without refreshing, it is not working. Though I see the folder is removed at the Dropbox web page.

Thomas_ Thanks for following up. It sounds like there may still be some accounts seeing a long latency with this functionality. Could you open an API ticket here with the affected account ID(s) so we can check on them? Thanks in advance!
