Dropbox
Programmatic file ops on Dropbox
Dropbox on Tiny Command is action-only today (Dropbox webhook triggers are on the roadmap), with eight actions covering the file-ops surface most workflows need. List Folder and Search Files for discovery. Get File/Folder Metadata for inspecting what's there without downloading. Create Folder, Copy File/Folder, Move File/Folder, and Delete File/Folder for the lifecycle operations. Create Shared Link for generating a public or password-protected URL you can drop into a Slack message or an email. The connection authorizes via Dropbox's OAuth with files.content.write and sharing.write scopes. The integration handles Dropbox's path conventions (every path is /path/to/file, with the leading slash), so you don't have to think about quirks like Dropbox's case-insensitive matching. Common pattern: a Typeform file-upload field stores the binary; a workflow uploads it to Dropbox via the HTTP action, generates a shared link with Create Shared Link, and posts the link into the relevant Slack channel.
Do anything Dropbox can do, from a workflow.
Every action accepts dynamic inputs from upstream nodes, whether that's an AI output, a form field, or a search result.
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Copy File or Folder | Copies a Dropbox file or folder to a new path within the same account. Used for templating workflows where every new customer gets a copy of a base folder. |
| Create Folder | Creates a new folder at the supplied Dropbox path. Auto-creates intermediate folders if you pass autorename to handle naming conflicts. |
| Create Shared Link | Creates a shared link for a Dropbox file or folder, with optional visibility (public/team-only/password) and expiry. Returns a URL you can drop into an email or chat. |
| Delete File or Folder | Deletes a file or folder from Dropbox by path. Recoverable from Dropbox's trash for 30 days (or longer on business plans). |
| Get File/Folder Metadata | Returns metadata for a Dropbox file or folder by path: size, last-modified, content_hash, and is_downloadable flag. Used to verify a path exists before reading. |
| List Folder | Lists files and folders in a Dropbox directory with their metadata. Pass recursive=true to walk the entire subtree, with a continuation cursor for very large folders. |
| Move File or Folder | Moves a file or folder to a new Dropbox path. Used for organizing intake files into year/quarter folders or for stage-based document workflows. |
| Search Files | Searches Dropbox files and folders by name or content (Dropbox indexes the text in many file types). Scope with a path prefix to narrow the search. |

Three things worth knowing.
Tiny Command counts a run the moment a trigger fires. Filtering early means only matching events spend your usage budget.
Connect Dropbox once and every workflow on your account can use its triggers and actions. You don't have to re-auth per workflow.
Every Dropbox field shows up in the visual picker for downstream nodes. The raw payload is there for power users, optional for everyone else.
