Dropbox

Cloud file storage service for files, folders, sharing links, revisions, permissions, and team content.

Helps file storage flows that create text files, organize folders, manage share links, and react to new or changed content.

Example Use Cases

These are the Dropbox actions Snow can use when building apps with you. Connecting an account does not make Snow run these on its own.

Add file member

Tool to add specified members to a Dropbox file with configurable access levels. Use when sharing a file with specific users by email or Dropbox ID. Supports custom invitation messages and notification controls. Note: This endpoint does not support apps with the app folder permission, and members will receive invitations unless quiet mode is enabled.

Add folder member

Tool to add members to a shared folder with specified access levels. Use when an owner or editor needs to invite new members to a shared folder. Members receive invites and must be mounted via mount_folder for full access. Requires appropriate ACL permissions.

Add members to team group

Tool to add members to a team group with specified access levels. Use when you need to add users to an existing team group. Requires team admin credentials with group management permissions.

Add team members

Tool to add new members to a Dropbox team. Use when you need to invite users to join the team with specified roles and settings. Maximum of 20 members per request. Requires team admin credentials.

Continue Dropbox Search

Tool to fetch the next page of search results from a previous Dropbox search. Use when you have a cursor from a search operation and need to retrieve additional results. Note: search along with search_continue can only retrieve a maximum of 10,000 matches total.

Copy file or folder

Tool to copy a file or folder to a different location in Dropbox. Use when you need to duplicate content without removing the original. If the source path is a folder, all its contents will be copied.

Create file request

Tool to create a new file request in Dropbox. Use when you need to request files from others by generating a unique link for uploads to a specified Dropbox folder, optionally with a deadline.

Create folder

Tool to create a new folder at a specified path in Dropbox. Use when you need to organize files by creating a new directory.

Create paper document

Creates a new Dropbox Paper document at the specified path using HTML or Markdown content.

Create shared link

Tool to create a stable, long-lived shared link for a Dropbox file or folder. Use when the user needs a permanent URL suitable for embedding or long-term sharing (as opposed to temporary links that expire in hours). Supports optional settings like expiration, password protection, and visibility controls. Note: If a shared link already exists for the path, the API will return an error; in that case, use a separate list_shared_links endpoint to retrieve existing links.
