Automate Dropbox operations including file upload/download, search, folder management, sharing links, batch operations, and metadata retrieval through Composio's Dropbox toolkit.
RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit dropboxRUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS first to get current tool schemasGet Rube MCP: Add https://rube.app/mcp as an MCP server in your client configuration. No API keys needed — just add the endpoint and it works.
RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS respondsRUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit dropboxWhen to use: User wants to find files or folders by name, content, or type
Tool sequence:
DROPBOX_SEARCH_FILE_OR_FOLDER - Search by query string with optional path scope and filters [Required]DROPBOX_SEARCH_CONTINUE - Paginate through additional results using cursor [Required if has_more]DROPBOX_GET_METADATA - Validate and get canonical path for a search result [Optional]DROPBOX_READ_FILE - Read file content to verify it is the intended document [Optional]Key parameters:
query: Search string (case-insensitive, 1+ non-whitespace characters)options.path: Scope search to a folder (e.g., "/Documents"); empty string for rootoptions.file_categories: Filter by type ("image", "document", "pdf", "folder", etc.)options.file_extensions: Filter by extension (e.g., ["jpg", "png"])options.filename_only: Set true to match filenames only (not content)options.max_results: Results per page (default 100, max 1000)Pitfalls:
has_more: true with a cursor when more results exist; MUST continue to avoid silently missing matchesDROPBOX_GET_METADATA returned path_display may differ in casing from user input; always use the returned canonical pathDROPBOX_READ_FILE may be returned as base64-encoded file_content_bytes; decode before parsingWhen to use: User wants to upload files to Dropbox or download files from it
Tool sequence:
DROPBOX_UPLOAD_FILE - Upload a file to a specified path [Required for upload]DROPBOX_READ_FILE - Download/read a file from Dropbox [Required for download]DROPBOX_DOWNLOAD_ZIP - Download an entire folder as a zip file [Optional]DROPBOX_SAVE_URL - Save a file from a public URL directly to Dropbox [Optional]DROPBOX_GET_SHARED_LINK_FILE - Download a file from a shared link URL [Optional]DROPBOX_EXPORT_FILE - Export non-downloadable files like Dropbox Paper to markdown/HTML [Optional]Key parameters:
path: Dropbox path (must start with /, e.g., "/Documents/report.pdf")mode: "add" (default, fail on conflict) or "overwrite" for uploadsautorename: true to auto-rename on conflict instead of failingcontent: FileUploadable object with s3key, mimetype, and name for uploadsurl: Public URL for DROPBOX_SAVE_URLexport_format: "markdown", "html", or "plain_text" for Paper docsPitfalls:
DROPBOX_SAVE_URL is asynchronous and may take up to 15 minutes for large filesDROPBOX_DOWNLOAD_ZIP folder must be under 20 GB with no single file over 4 GB and fewer than 10,000 entriesDROPBOX_READ_FILE content may be base64-encoded; check response formatDROPBOX_GET_SHARED_LINK_FILE may require link_password for protected linksWhen to use: User wants to create sharing links or manage existing shared links
Tool sequence:
DROPBOX_GET_METADATA - Confirm file/folder exists and get canonical path [Prerequisite]DROPBOX_LIST_SHARED_LINKS - Check for existing shared links to avoid duplicates [Prerequisite]DROPBOX_CREATE_SHARED_LINK - Create a new shared link [Required]DROPBOX_GET_SHARED_LINK_METADATA - Resolve a shared link URL to metadata [Optional]DROPBOX_LIST_SHARED_FOLDERS - List all shared folders the user has access to [Optional]Key parameters:
path: File or folder path for link creationsettings.audience: "public", "team", or "no_one"settings.access: "viewer" or "editor"settings.expires: ISO 8601 expiration date (e.g., "2026-12-31T23:59:59Z")settings.require_password / settings.link_password: Password protectionsettings.allow_download: Boolean for download permissiondirect_only: For LIST_SHARED_LINKS, set true to only return direct links (not parent folder links)Pitfalls:
DROPBOX_CREATE_SHARED_LINK fails with 409 Conflict if a shared link already exists for the path; check with DROPBOX_LIST_SHARED_LINKS firstDROPBOX_GET_METADATA before creating links to avoid path/not_found errorsDROPBOX_LIST_SHARED_LINKS instead of creating duplicatesrequested_visibility is deprecated; use audience for newer implementationsWhen to use: User wants to create, move, rename, or delete files and folders
Tool sequence:
DROPBOX_CREATE_FOLDER - Create a single folder [Required for create]DROPBOX_CREATE_FOLDER_BATCH - Create multiple folders at once [Optional]DROPBOX_MOVE_FILE_OR_FOLDER - Move or rename a single file/folder [Required for move]DROPBOX_MOVE_BATCH - Move multiple items at once [Optional]DROPBOX_DELETE_FILE_OR_FOLDER - Delete a single file or folder [Required for delete]DROPBOX_DELETE_BATCH - Delete multiple items at once [Optional]DROPBOX_COPY_FILE_OR_FOLDER - Copy a file or folder to a new location [Optional]DROPBOX_CHECK_MOVE_BATCH / DROPBOX_CHECK_FOLDER_BATCH - Poll async batch job status [Required for batch ops]Key parameters:
path: Target path (must start with /, case-sensitive)from_path / to_path: Source and destination for move/copy operationsautorename: true to auto-rename on conflictentries: Array of {from_path, to_path} for batch moves; array of paths for batch createsallow_shared_folder: Set true to allow moving shared foldersallow_ownership_transfer: Set true if move changes ownershipPitfalls:
// or whitespaceDROPBOX_CHECK_MOVE_BATCH or DROPBOX_CHECK_FOLDER_BATCHDROPBOX_FILES_MOVE_BATCH (v1) has "all or nothing" behavior - if any entry fails, entire batch failsDROPBOX_MOVE_BATCH (v2) is preferred over DROPBOX_FILES_MOVE_BATCH (v1)When to use: User wants to browse or enumerate files in a Dropbox folder
Tool sequence:
DROPBOX_LIST_FILES_IN_FOLDER - List contents of a folder [Required]DROPBOX_LIST_FOLDERS - Alternative folder listing with deleted entries support [Optional]DROPBOX_GET_METADATA - Get details for a specific item [Optional]Key parameters:
path: Folder path (empty string "" for root)recursive: true to list all nested contentslimit: Max results per request (default/max 2000)include_deleted: true to include deleted but recoverable itemsinclude_media_info: true to get photo/video metadataPitfalls:
"" for root folder, not "/"limit to control page sizeDROPBOX_LIST_FILES_IN_FOLDER returns 409 Conflict with path/not_found for incorrect paths"/Documents/file.pdf")id:... format (e.g., "id:4g0reWVRsAAAAAAAAAAAQ")path_display or path_lower from DROPBOX_GET_METADATA responses for subsequent callsDROPBOX_GET_SHARED_LINK_METADATA to resolve URLs to paths/IDsDropbox uses cursor-based pagination across most endpoints:
has_more + cursor with DROPBOX_SEARCH_CONTINUE (max 10,000 total matches)has_more + cursor in DROPBOX_LIST_SHARED_LINKSDROPBOX_CHECK_MOVE_BATCH / DROPBOX_CHECK_FOLDER_BATCHSeveral Dropbox operations run asynchronously:
DROPBOX_SAVE_URL - returns job ID; poll or set wait: true (up to 120s default)DROPBOX_MOVE_BATCH / DROPBOX_FILES_MOVE_BATCH - may return job IDDROPBOX_CREATE_FOLDER_BATCH - may return job IDDROPBOX_DELETE_BATCH - returns job ID/ (except empty string for root in some endpoints)/ or contain trailing whitespacepath_display from API may differ in casing from user input; always prefer API-returned pathsDROPBOX_SAVE_URL has a 15-minute timeout for large filesDROPBOX_READ_FILE may return content as base64-encoded file_content_bytesDROPBOX_EXPORT_FILE insteadDROPBOX_LIST_SHARED_LINKS before creating new linksDROPBOX_LIST_SHARED_FOLDERS| Task | Tool Slug | Key Params |
