Actions
What your agents can do in Dropbox
4 actions. Each one is a tool your agents can call and a step your workflows can run.
Read 3
Look things up. Nothing changes.
List a folder
Lists the files and subfolders in a Dropbox folder, by path ("" or no path for the root, like /Projects/2026 for a folder) or by ID (id:...).
Search files and folders
Searches a Dropbox account for files and folders whose name (and, on some plans, content) matches a query, optionally inside one folder, only by file name, or only for some file extensions.
Get a file's or folder's details
Reads the details of one file or folder by path (like /Reports/q3.pdf) or ID (id:...): .tag, name, path_display, id and, for a file, size, client_modified, server_modified, rev and content_hash.
Write 1
Create, change or send.
Create a shared link
Creates a shared link to a file or folder, so people can open it in a browser.
A person can approve first
Any write action can be set to wait for a person's approval before it runs, so an agent asks before it changes anything.
Connection
How it connects
Connect it once in the console, then give it to the agents and workflows that need it.
Sign in with Dropbox and approve access (OAuth).
Kept safe
- Credentials are stored encrypted with your organization's own keys.
- They are opened only by the process that makes the call, at the moment it runs, and never go into a prompt or the browser.
- Calls go only to the tool's own servers.
Ideas
Ideas to start with
Starting points made only from the actions above. Mix them with any other tool your agents can use.
- 01
Ask about your Dropbox data
Ask a question in plain words. The agent can list a folder, search files and folders or get a file's or folder's details in Dropbox, then answers with what it found.
- 02
Let an agent update Dropbox
Have the agent create a shared link in Dropbox as part of a larger task. Turn on approval and a person signs off on each change first.
- 03
Share what it finds in Slack
Give one agent Dropbox and Slack: it can list a folder in Dropbox and post a summary to a Slack channel in the same run.
