How it works?
Upload and download files
Save files from workflows to Dropbox folders, download files for processing, and transfer documents between cloud storage and your workflows. Handle various file types and manage large file transfers efficiently.
Create folder structures
Organize files by creating folders and nested directory structures programmatically. Set up consistent folder hierarchies for projects, clients, or departments. Manage folder permissions and access controls through workflow automation.
Share files and folders
Generate share links for files or folders, set expiration dates and passwords, and control view or edit permissions. Create temporary access for external collaborators and manage sharing settings through workflows.
Manage permissions
Control file and folder access by adding or removing collaborators, setting permission levels, and managing team folder memberships. Implement automated access control based on workflow conditions or user roles.
Search across files
Find files by name, content, or metadata using Dropbox search capabilities. Locate documents matching specific criteria for processing, reporting, or organization. Access file properties and modification history for workflow decisions.
Move and copy files
Reorganize files by moving them between folders, create copies for backup or distribution, and manage file versions. Implement automated filing systems that organize documents based on content, date, or custom rules.
Trigger on file uploads
Start workflows when new files are added to specific Dropbox folders. Process uploaded documents, extract data, or route files to appropriate systems based on file type or location. Monitor folders for new content in real-time.
React to file modifications
Execute workflows when files are updated or modified in Dropbox. Track document changes, create version histories, or trigger review processes when important files are edited. Monitor critical folders for any file activity.

Build
Document processing pipeline
When files are uploaded to a Dropbox folder, extract text content using OCR or document parsing, analyze the content with AI, then organize files into categorized folders and update tracking databases. Send notifications about processed documents and create searchable records of file contents.
Automated backup system
Schedule regular backups of critical files from other systems to Dropbox, organize backups by date in structured folders, and maintain retention policies by removing old archives. Verify backup integrity and send reports on backup status and storage usage.
Client file sharing workflow
When a client project is created in your system, set up a dedicated Dropbox folder with proper permissions, generate a share link, and send access instructions to the client. Monitor folder activity, sync important files to other systems, and maintain organized client documentation throughout project lifecycles.
