Dropbox last modification with Java API

Question

I am writing a Dropbox console application. I need to find last modification for my account. I can get file metadata with date of last modification, like this:

DbxEntry.WithChildren listing = client.getMetadataWithChildren(path);
for (DbxEntry child : listing.children) {
    System.out.println("    " + child.name + ": " + child.toString());

}

But how can I find the latest modification for all of my folders?

Answer 1

The Dropbox API and the official Dropbox Java SDK don't expose a modified time for folders, but we'll consider it a feature request.

For files, you can access clientModified and serverModified on FileMetadata .

(Note that the code in your question uses the old, deprecated Java SDK, so you should switch to the new one .)
