    The Dropbox API unfortunately doesn't offer a better way to do this, but I'll pass this along as a feature request.

    Hi Greg. Have there been any updates on how to obtain the most recently modified files in a Dropbox account? I noticed the web UI supports a Recents view.

        Hi Greg,

         

        Just been interfacing with Dropbox API and came across this as I am looking for the extact same 'give me recently updated only' from the API.

        I have to admit I am shocked that this very basic feature, after 3 years is still not in the API, is Dropbox not a multi billion dollar company?

        Is there a particular reason why this extremely important feature has not been implemented?
