Microsoft Word for Web and "/get_events" endpoint
Hello,
I just uploaded a word document to Dropbox and edited it using Microsoft Word for Web.
Then I called the "/get_events" endpoint using the parameter "category = file_operations". No event was returned.
Then I edited the same document using my local Word, saved it and the endpoint returned a "file_edit" event as expected.
Why is that so? What did I miss?
Pls advise.
Best regards,
Jan
Hi Neil,

Hello @1575475,
The engineering team has updated me.
Unfortunately, editing Microsoft Office documents in Dropbox does not trigger an event in the activity log. This is currently a feature gap, and the case is still open with the engineering team.
Please note that I’m unable to provide a specific timeline for this case. However, if I receive any further updates, I will let you know.
