Dropbox Integration
Give your AI agent the ability to browse, search, and organize files and folders in Dropbox.
Connect Dropbox to your Chipp AI so it can browse folders, search for files, get metadata, create folders, generate sharing links, and move files — all through natural conversation.
What the AI Can Do
Once connected, your agent gains six tools:
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
| dropbox_list_files | List files and folders in a directory (use empty path for root) |
| dropbox_search | Search for files and folders by name or content |
| dropbox_get_file_metadata | Get detailed metadata for a specific file or folder |
| dropbox_create_folder | Create a new folder at a specified path |
| dropbox_get_sharing_link | Create or retrieve a shared link for a file |
| dropbox_move_file | Move or rename a file or folder |
Search Options
The search tool supports filtering by file category:
- Documents, spreadsheets, presentations
- Images, audio, video
- Folders
Connecting Dropbox
In your app’s builder, navigate to the Build section and select the Integrations tab. Find Dropbox in the list of available integrations.
Click the Connect button next to Dropbox. You will be redirected to Dropbox’s authorization page.
Sign in with your Dropbox account and approve the requested permissions.
Once connected, open the chat preview and try:
- “List the files in my Dropbox root”
- “Search for the project proposal”
- “Create a shared link for the budget spreadsheet”
How It Works
File Browsing
The agent navigates Dropbox using folder paths. Ask it to browse a specific directory or start from the root:
- “What’s in my Dropbox?” lists the root directory
- “Show me the files in /Projects/2026” browses a specific folder
- Recursive listing is supported for deep folder exploration
Sharing Links
The agent can create or retrieve shared links for any file:
- If a shared link already exists, it returns the existing one
- If not, it creates a new public link
- Useful for quickly sharing files through conversation
File Organization
The agent can reorganize your Dropbox:
- “Create a new folder called ‘Archive’ in /Projects”
- “Move the Q3 report to the Archive folder”
- “Rename the budget file to ‘Budget-Final.xlsx‘“
Metadata
Each file and folder includes:
- Name and path
- File size
- Last modified date
- File type (file or folder)
Example Use Cases
- File lookup — “Find the contract for the Acme deal”
- Folder organization — “Create a new project folder and move all related files into it”
- Quick sharing — “Get me a sharing link for the presentation slides”
- File discovery — “What files were recently modified in the Documents folder?”
- Cleanup — “Search for all duplicate files and list them”
Billing
Dropbox tool calls use your standard LLM token billing. There is no separate per-call fee.
