What it does

Turns Dropbox's transient sharing activity into a durable, structured audit log. On each sharing event it builds a normalized record (folder, actor, target, old role, new role, action, timestamp) and streams it into an Axiom dataset, giving you a searchable, long-retention history of every access change for compliance and forensics.

When to use it

Use this when you need access history that outlives Dropbox's built-in event retention, or when auditors and incident responders need to run ad-hoc queries like "every folder a given user was added to last quarter." It is the system-of-record companion to alerting workflows.

How it works

  1. 1A Dropbox sharing webhook fires on any membership or role change.
  2. 2The flow fetches the full event detail from Dropbox.
  3. 3A logic step normalizes it into a flat, consistently keyed audit record.
  4. 4The record is ingested into the Axiom audit dataset.
  5. 5Axiom retains and indexes the event for later querying and dashboards.
