Dropbox StaffThere isn't a way to get notified of sharing actions like this unfortunately, but I'll pass this along as a feature request.
As you found, /list_folder/continue is only for actual file/folder changes, which doesn't include sharing activity, and the list_received_files interface doesn't work the same way as list_folder.
Thanks for the clarification. Are webhooks any help for this scenerio? Will i get notified via a webhook when a file is shared to a user?

No, webhooks would only notify of filesystem changes, i.e., like /list_folder/continue would report, not sharing changes.
(There is technically some additional functionality for Business apps/teams, but it sounds like you're not referring to a Business app/team, so that wouldn't apply. Let me know if not though.)
