The file_unshared event is sent when a file is unshared. It is sent to all connected clients for all users that had permission to see the file. The file property includes the file ID, as well as a top-level file_id. To obtain additional information about the unshared file, use the files.info API method.

This event is not raised if the reason for a file's removal is due to a workspace's file retention policy, as opposed to a user unsharing the file.
