I assumed the email was a phishing expedition. However, the device I had used was one that I have frequently used over the years for Dropbox access. The information noting the date, time and browser matched my dropbox access. I received the "new sign in" email yesterday. changes in the correct folder, if using the "app folder" permission: for apps using the "app folder" permission, such as yours, webhook notifications will only be sent for changes inside the special app folder created in connected users' accounts (by default at /Apps/APP_FOLDER_NAME for accounts using English), and not anywhere else in the accounts.I write to suggest that Dropbox has taken the wrong approach in this matter and needlessly causes anxiety for its users while encouraging hacking/phishing expeditions from outside sources.Dropbox webhook notifications will only be sent for changes in an account that is currently connected to the API app (e.g., authorized by the OAuth app authorization flow, or by generating an access token on the App Console). changes in the correct account: ensure that you're making changes in the right account.( The dropbox_hook project can be useful for easily simulating webhook notification requests.) the correct webhook URI: ensure you have the right host/port/path registered in your webook URI.the correct app: if you may have registered multiple apps, ensure that you added the webhook URI to the right one.There are a few things to check if you're not receiving the expected webhook notification requests from Dropbox. Threading.Thread(target=process_user, args=(account,)).start() If not pare_digest(signature, hmac.new(APP_SECRET, request.data, sha256).hexdigest()):įor account in json.loads(request.data): Signature = ('X-Dropbox-Signature').encode("utf-8")
# Make sure this is a valid request from Dropbox '''Receive a list of changed user IDs from Dropbox and process each.''' '''Respond to the webhook challenge (GET request) by echoing back the challenge parameter.''' # A random secret used by Flask to encrypt session data cookies # App key and secret from the App console (/developers/apps) Do you know the correct way to fix this? Thank you. The problem is that I am expecting the /webhook POST call to be triggered everytime I upload a file to my Dropbox folder, but it never happens. Next, you can see the code of my flask app.
challenge URI for Dropbox webhook works correctly (API_KEY, API_SECRET, and app.secret_key are hidden here). The configuration for my app is like shown in next image, clearly showing that the webhook URI has been enabled, i.e. A Dropbox webhook is a service that calls our defined API endpoint when some event happens in our dropbox folder (like uploading a file). I created a Flask app with endpoints ready for Dropbox webhooks.
