In addition to what Здравко mentioned, please bear in mind that the webhook notifications only indicate when something has changed in an account, but do not themselves indicate what has changed.
To retrieve information on the file changes, you can use the files functionality on the Dropbox API itself to retrieve the necessary information. I recommend reading the following guides for more information:
- https://developers.dropbox.com/detecting-changes-guide
- https://developers.dropbox.com/dbx-file-access-guide
Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions, or if there is anything else I can help you with.
