Dropbox
Files & storageBearer tokenConnection test available
Create folders in Dropbox (access token).
OCNORA ships 22 typed Dropbox operations. Each node has a schema-driven form, input and output tables beside its settings, and is pre-flighted by Workflow Health before your first real run. Endpoints not covered by a typed node are called at https://api.dropboxapi.com/2 through the HTTP node with the same credential.
Before you connect Dropbox
- Authentication
- Bearer token
- Credential
- the Dropbox access token
- Connection test
- Available: the stored credential can be checked against the provider when you add it. This is not a record that a test was run or passed.

A sample Dropbox workflow
- 1A core triggerStart the run from a chat, form, manual, schedule, webhook, workflow trigger — no Dropbox trigger is needed.
- 2Check Delete Batchdropbox.delete_batch_checkCheck whether a delete batch has finished and read its per-entry results.
- 3Copy File or Folderdropbox.copy_fileCopy a file or folder to another path; copying a folder copies everything inside it.
An outline built from this provider’s node contracts, not a recorded run. Each step’s output fields are available to the next in the field picker.
Every node below has a reference page: what it does, the connection it needs, its config fields with types, constraints and examples, and the shapes it emits.
Operations 22
- Copy File or FolderCopy a file or folder to another path; copying a folder copies everything inside it.dropbox.copy_file
- Create FolderCreate a folder in Dropbox.dropbox.create_folder
- Create Shared LinkCreate a shared link for a file or folder, with optional audience, password and expiry.dropbox.create_shared_link
- Delete BatchDelete many files or folders in one call, which Dropbox may finish immediately or run as a background job.dropbox.delete_batch
- Check Delete BatchCheck whether a delete batch has finished and read its per-entry results.dropbox.delete_batch_check
- Delete FileMove a file to the Dropbox trash, optionally only if it is still at the revision you expect.dropbox.delete_file
- Delete FolderMove a folder and everything inside it to the Dropbox trash.dropbox.delete_folder
- Download FileDownload a file's content and emit it as the shared base64 file envelope, ready to hand to a storage, mail or upload node.dropbox.download_file
- Get MetadataRead one file or folder's metadata — name, size, revision and timestamps — without downloading its content.dropbox.get_metadata
- Get Space UsageRead how much of the account's Dropbox storage is in use and how much it is allowed.dropbox.get_space_usage
- List FolderList one page of a folder's contents, optionally recursing into subfolders.dropbox.list_folder
- List Folder (Next Page)Read the next page of a folder listing using the cursor the previous page returned.dropbox.list_folder_continue
- List RevisionsList the stored revisions of a file, which is where the 'rev' that dropbox.restore_file needs comes from.dropbox.list_revisions
- List Shared LinksList the shared links on one path, or page through every link the account owns.dropbox.list_shared_links
- Move BatchMove many files or folders in one call, which Dropbox may finish immediately or run as a background job.dropbox.move_batch
- Check Move BatchCheck whether a move batch has finished and read its per-entry results.dropbox.move_batch_check
- Move File or FolderMove or rename a file or folder; moving a folder takes everything inside it along.dropbox.move_file
- Restore FilePut an earlier revision of a file back at its path, undoing later edits.dropbox.restore_file
- Revoke Shared LinkRevoke one shared link so the url stops working, leaving the file itself untouched.dropbox.revoke_shared_link
- Search (Next Page)Read the next page of search matches using the cursor the previous page returned.dropbox.search_continue
- Search FilesSearch the account for files and folders by name, optionally within one folder and filtered by type.dropbox.search_files
- Upload FileUpload a file to a path in Dropbox, taking its content from 'body' as text or as a base64 blob from an upstream download node.dropbox.upload_file
Dropbox questions
- How does OCNORA authenticate with Dropbox?
- With a stored Bearer token credential, shaped the Dropbox access token. A connection test can check it when you add it.
- What can I automate with Dropbox?
- 22 typed operations, each with a reference page listing its config fields and the shapes it emits.
- What if the Dropbox operation I need is not listed?
- Call https://api.dropboxapi.com/2 from the HTTP node with the same credential, or describe the step to the AI builder, which asks our team for a typed node when one is missing.
- Are there templates that use Dropbox?
- Not yet. Start from a blank workflow, or describe the workflow to Build with AI.
- How are Dropbox calls controlled?
- Every call and every run step is audited, runs count against the execution budget, and Workflow Health pre-flights the workflow when you save it.
