Hey iNeil ,
thank you for your response. I'll be more precise:
I've added a word file and got file_add event.
Then, I opened this file from Dbx using open with -.word , edit the file ( add few sentences and remove few other).
And I don't see file_edit event.
If I do the same for paper file, I do see such event.
Regards,

Dropbox EngineerHello EvgeniyJK,
I have tested the steps you provided and was able to retrieve and preview the file_edit event using the Dropbox API. Could you please cross-check the events on the team activity on the admin console to see if you are able to preview the file edit events?
If you are able to preview the file_edit events on the Dropbox website and not the Dropbox API, please provide more details on how you are retrieving the events with the Dropbox API.
If you are unable to preview the file_edit events on the Dropbox website and Dropbox API, please provide the following below:
- the registered name of the API app
- the name and version number of the platform and SDK/library you are using, if any
- the steps to reproduce the issue, including relevant code snippet(s), but don't include any access or refresh token(s)
- the exact steps on how you are editing the word document with Dropbox
- the full unexpected output
Please note that there might be a delay when the event is logged on the team activity page and the Dropbox API when the action takes place.
