Hi gauravpant,

To clarify, webhooks are a way for web apps to get real-time notifications when users' files change in Dropbox. Once a webhook URI is registered, Dropbox will send an HTTP request to that URI every time there's a change in any of the accounts connected to your app. Feel free to review the documentation on webhooks for more information: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/webhooks.

Additionally, the code snippet you provided, also appears to be listing a user's files and folders, downloading files, and also uploading files. Could you clarify what exactly is not clear? Are you seeing errors? What are you expecting the app to do that it is not doing?
