If something doesn't work or is confusing, let us know on the forum thread.Dropbox has always prioritized creativity and collaboration as key to building a thriving business, and our office spaces were designed for it. Each SDK comes with a "search cache" example program that keeps a local cache of all the file names in an App Folder and uses /delta to keep the cache up to date. While it'll be tempting to repeatedly poll /delta to get instant notification of changes, we'd appreciate polling intervals no less than 5 minutes on average.īelow are updated copies of the Python, Ruby, and Java SDKs. Please use intelligent back-off for polling.You may also get "delete" entries for files you don't have in your local state. For example, you may get entries out of order - the "add" entry for a file before the "add" entry for the file's parent folder. We don't recommend showing it to the end user.
The list of delta entries is intended to help an app get its internal state caught up with the Dropbox server's state./delta is a little trickier to use than our other API calls.For now, it only works for app keys with "Development" status and only on App Folders. Things will probably change before the final release, so don't use it in production just yet. We're releasing this in beta to get feedback. The app stills need to poll periodically, but using /delta is much more efficient than using /metadatafor tracking an entire folder hierarchy. The new /delta API call returns a list of delta entries that describe what has changed in a user's Dropbox, allowing the app to update its local state to match. Today we're releasing something that takes the API a step in that direction. From the very first release of the Dropbox API, developers have asked for ways to efficiently keep up with changes to files in Dropbox.
