Configuration
3 fields, none required. A dotted path is a nested object and name[] an array of objects — the editor renders the same tree.
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Constraints | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
path The file or folder whose links you want. Leave blank to list every link in the account. | string | No | — | — | — |
cursor The cursor from a previous page. Only returned when no path was given. | string | No | — | — | — |
direct_only Return only links pointing at this exact item, not links to its parent folders. Defaults to false. | boolean | No | — | — | — |
Output
One shape.

cursor Pass this back to read the next page. | string | — |
has_more True when another page of links is waiting. | boolean | — |

}Notes
- Paths are absolute and start with a slash ('/Reports/2026/q1.csv'); the account root is the empty string. A Dropbox file id ('id:…') or revision ('rev:…') may be used anywhere a path is asked for.
- Uploads and downloads use content.dropboxapi.com and everything else uses api.dropboxapi.com; the nodes pick the right host for you.
- The connection's access token must carry the scope the call needs — files.content.write to upload, move, delete or restore, files.content.read to download, files.metadata.read to list, search or read metadata, sharing.read to list shared links, sharing.write to create or revoke one, and account_info.read for space usage.
- Dropbox only pages this call when no path is given; asking about one path returns that item's links and no cursor.
See List Shared Links run in a workflow.
In a technical demo we add the Dropbox connection, drop the node on the canvas and let Workflow Health pre-flight it before the first real run.
