List Created Files After given Using API
Hi, I want to list files that are created after a given date. I want to do this using API. There isn't any creation date for files and folders. Any other way to do this? Also, another query, und...
Unfortunately, the Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to list/filter files/folders created only since a specific date nor a way to retrieve the original creation date, but I'll pass these along as feature requests. I can't promise if or when they might be implemented though.
The API doesn't distinguish between files and folders in deleted entries, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request as well. For reference though, a deleted entry just indicates that whatever was at that path was deleted, and at different points in time, a single path could have been either a file and folder. You may want to refer to whatever previous metadata you received for that path to see what was there, and/or call /2/files/list_revisions to see what was previously there.

One more thing,
Dropbox business account has a log functionality. (Logs for files - added, edited, deleted, moved etc). We can fetch these details via API for Dropbox business account. Isn't it possible to do the same in personal account?
If personal account provides logs functionality, then I can use it to get list of created, edited, deleted and moved files.- Greg-DB
I see you also posted this in a new thread so I'll follow up with you there.
