Provider integrations

Connect Dropbox to FastHook

Authorize a Dropbox account and route real-time file-system changes to any Destination. Use Any Dropbox Change, Custom Dropbox Changes, or a focused Source for files, folders, or deletions.

Dropbox webhooks are lightweight account notifications. FastHook acknowledges each signed notification only after it is durably queued, then follows Dropbox's cursor to collect and store every exact changed item.

Create a Dropbox Provider Source

  1. Open Sources → New source → Provider app → Dropbox.
  2. Choose Any Change, Custom Changes, or an individual change type.
  3. Select Connect new Dropbox account and approve read-only metadata access.
  4. Optionally filter by path prefixes or file extensions, then connect Destinations.

Supported changes

  • File Added or Updated for changed file metadata.
  • Folder Added or Updated for changed folders.
  • Item Deleted for deleted files and folders.
  • Custom Dropbox Changes combines several types in one Source.

Dropbox reports changed metadata through one cursor stream and does not reliably distinguish every create from every update. FastHook keeps that distinction honest and exposes the complete public change model.

Reliability and security

  • Webhook HMAC signatures are verified against the untouched request body.
  • Cursor checkpoints advance only after matching events are stored and queued.
  • OAuth credentials are encrypted at rest and offline refresh tokens avoid repeated sign-in.
  • FastHook requests read-only account and file metadata access; it does not download file contents.
  • Duplicate notifications and retries are deduplicated before downstream delivery.

Disconnect

Revoke the Dropbox account from the Source editor or FastHook account settings. You can also remove FastHook from Dropbox's connected apps settings; related Sources stop receiving new changes.
