Please note that any changes in shared folders, even made by other users, should trigger webhook notifications for your linked app, as long as the shared folder is in a connected account and available to your app, per the app's permission.
As far as your second enquiry, what happens when you provide the specific path "/Team Folder/test/Upload Directory/" as the value to the 'path' parameter, are you getting an error?

no error, but what’s the purpose of that path? If I provide my target folder path, will it only trigger the webhook when a file is uploaded to it? The biggest challenge I’m currently facing is that it’s scanning files from all users account. However, I only want the webhook to run and scan a new file upload(any users) from my target folder, which is /Team Folder/test/Upload Directory/.
is that possible?

It’s not currently possible to limit webhook notifications to a specific folder.
As outlined in our Webhooks documentation, once you register a URI to receive webhooks, Dropbox sends an HTTP request to that endpoint whenever there’s a change in any of the accounts connected to your app — not just a specific path or folder.
