No love after begging for an administration API for 2+ years.
At this point they should start putting some spin on it.
"Help your company employ more people. Dropbox for Business's lack of administration tools will grow your headcount. When you see your admins waiting for a list of users to load, or trying to write their own tools based on scraping the website, feel good about how you're fighting unemployment."
- smarx 11y agoOur goal is definitely to give administrators the control they need through the API, but I'm very willing to believe there are things we're missing. :-) Is there something specific that's not already part of our Dropbox Business API?

- awakeasleep 11y agoI didn't see this. Huge step in the right direction. I don't suppose there is a way to programmatically consume the activity stream and pick events to undelete, too? I'm sorry I can't edit the smug sassiness out of my original reply.
- smarx 11y agoIt's not in v2 yet (coming soon!), but check out /log/get_events [0] in v1. I'm not sure that it will cover what you want if you're looking for file changes. That might be better served with webhooks, /files/list_folder and /files/list_folder/continue. Feel free to post on the developer forum if you want more help!

- brazzledazzle 11y agoI think it was released at the beginning of 2015 so I wouldn't beat yourself up about it.
