Dropbox Automation via Rube MCP workflow skill. Use this skill when the user needs Automate Dropbox file management, sharing, search, uploads, downloads, and folder operations via Rube MCP (Composio). Always search tools first for current schemas and the operator should preserve the upstream workflow, copied support files, and provenance before merging or handing off.
This public intake copy packages plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/dropbox-automation from https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills into the native Omni Skills editorial shape without hiding its origin.
Use it when the operator needs the upstream workflow, support files, and repository context to stay intact while the public validator and private enhancer continue their normal downstream flow.
This intake keeps the copied upstream files intact and uses the external_source block in metadata.json plus ORIGIN.md as the provenance anchor for review.
Dropbox Automation via Rube MCP Automate Dropbox operations including file upload/download, search, folder management, sharing links, batch operations, and metadata retrieval through Composio's Dropbox toolkit.
Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: Prerequisites, Common Patterns, Known Pitfalls, Limitations.
When to Use This Skill
Use this section as the trigger filter. It should make the activation boundary explicit before the operator loads files, runs commands, or opens a pull request.
This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.
Use when the request clearly matches the imported source intent: Automate Dropbox file management, sharing, search, uploads, downloads, and folder operations via Rube MCP (Composio). Always search tools first for current schemas.
Use when the operator should preserve upstream workflow detail instead of rewriting the process from scratch.
Use when provenance needs to stay visible in the answer, PR, or review packet.
Use when copied upstream references, examples, or scripts materially improve the answer.
Use when the workflow should remain reviewable in the public intake repo before the private enhancer takes over.

Imported: Core Workflows
1. Search for Files and Folders
When 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]
settings.allow_download: Boolean for download permission
direct_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 first
Always validate path with DROPBOX_GET_METADATA before creating links to avoid path/not_found errors
Reuse existing links from DROPBOX_LIST_SHARED_LINKS instead of creating duplicates
requested_visibility is deprecated; use audience for newer implementations
4. Manage Folders (Create, Move, Delete)
When 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 operations
autorename: true to auto-rename on conflict
entries: Array of {from_path, to_path} for batch moves; array of paths for batch creates
allow_shared_folder: Set true to allow moving shared folders
allow_ownership_transfer: Set true if move changes ownership
Pitfalls:
All paths are case-sensitive and must start with /
Paths must NOT end with / or whitespace
Batch operations may be asynchronous; poll with DROPBOX_CHECK_MOVE_BATCH or DROPBOX_CHECK_FOLDER_BATCH
DROPBOX_FILES_MOVE_BATCH (v1) has "all or nothing" behavior - if any entry fails, entire batch fails
DROPBOX_MOVE_BATCH (v2) is preferred over DROPBOX_FILES_MOVE_BATCH (v1)
Maximum 1000 entries per batch delete/move; 10,000 paths per batch folder create
Case-only renaming is not supported in batch move operations
5. List Folder Contents
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 contents
limit: Max results per request (default/max 2000)
include_deleted: true to include deleted but recoverable items
include_media_info: true to get photo/video metadata
Pitfalls:
Use empty string "" for root folder, not "/"
Recursive listings can be very large; use limit to control page size
Results may paginate via cursor even with small limits
DROPBOX_LIST_FILES_IN_FOLDER returns 409 Conflict with path/not_found for incorrect paths
Imported: Prerequisites
Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
Active Dropbox connection via RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit dropbox
Always call RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS first to get current tool schemas
Examples
Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly
Use @dropbox-automation to handle <task>. Start from the copied upstream workflow, load only the files that change the outcome, and keep provenance visible in the answer.
Explanation: This is the safest starting point when the operator needs the imported workflow, but not the entire repository.
Example 2: Ask for a provenance-grounded review
Review @dropbox-automation against metadata.json and ORIGIN.md, then explain which copied upstream files you would load first and why.
Explanation: Use this before review or troubleshooting when you need a precise, auditable explanation of origin and file selection.
Example 3: Narrow the copied support files before execution
Use @dropbox-automation for <task>. Load only the copied references, examples, or scripts that change the outcome, and name the files explicitly before proceeding.
Explanation: This keeps the skill aligned with progressive disclosure instead of loading the whole copied package by default.
Example 4: Build a reviewer packet
Review @dropbox-automation using the copied upstream files plus provenance, then summarize any gaps before merge.
Explanation: This is useful when the PR is waiting for human review and you want a repeatable audit packet.
Best Practices
Treat the generated public skill as a reviewable packaging layer around the upstream repository. The goal is to keep provenance explicit and load only the copied source material that materially improves execution.
Keep the imported skill grounded in the upstream repository; do not invent steps that the source material cannot support.
Prefer the smallest useful set of support files so the workflow stays auditable and fast to review.
Keep provenance, source commit, and imported file paths visible in notes and PR descriptions.
Point directly at the copied upstream files that justify the workflow instead of relying on generic review boilerplate.
Treat generated examples as scaffolding; adapt them to the concrete task before execution.
Route to a stronger native skill when architecture, debugging, design, or security concerns become dominant.
Troubleshooting
Problem: The operator skipped the imported context and answered too generically
Symptoms: The result ignores the upstream workflow in plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/dropbox-automation, fails to mention provenance, or does not use any copied source files at all.
Solution: Re-open metadata.json, ORIGIN.md, and the most relevant copied upstream files. Check the external_source block first, then restate the provenance before continuing.
Problem: The imported workflow feels incomplete during review
Symptoms: Reviewers can see the generated SKILL.md, but they cannot quickly tell which references, examples, or scripts matter for the current task.
Solution: Point at the exact copied references, examples, scripts, or assets that justify the path you took. If the gap is still real, record it in the PR instead of hiding it.
Problem: The task drifted into a different specialization
Symptoms: The imported skill starts in the right place, but the work turns into debugging, architecture, design, security, or release orchestration that a native skill handles better.
Solution: Use the related skills section to hand off deliberately. Keep the imported provenance visible so the next skill inherits the right context instead of starting blind.

Imported: Common Patterns
ID Resolution
Path-based: Most Dropbox tools use path strings (e.g., "/Documents/file.pdf")
ID-based: Some tools accept id:... format (e.g., "id:4g0reWVRsAAAAAAAAAAAQ")
Canonical path: Always use path_display or path_lower from DROPBOX_GET_METADATA responses for subsequent calls
Shared link URL: Use DROPBOX_GET_SHARED_LINK_METADATA to resolve URLs to paths/IDs
Pagination
Dropbox uses cursor-based pagination across most endpoints:
Search: Follow has_more + cursor with DROPBOX_SEARCH_CONTINUE (max 10,000 total matches)
Folder listing: Follow cursor from response until no more pages
Shared links: Follow has_more + cursor in DROPBOX_LIST_SHARED_LINKS
Batch job status: Poll with DROPBOX_CHECK_MOVE_BATCH / DROPBOX_CHECK_FOLDER_BATCH
Async Operations
Several 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 ID
DROPBOX_CREATE_FOLDER_BATCH - may return job ID
DROPBOX_DELETE_BATCH - returns job ID
Imported: Known Pitfalls
Path Formats
All paths must start with / (except empty string for root in some endpoints)
Paths must NOT end with / or contain trailing whitespace
Paths are case-sensitive for write operations
path_display from API may differ in casing from user input; always prefer API-returned paths
Rate Limits
Dropbox API has per-endpoint rate limits; batch operations help reduce call count
Search is limited to 10,000 total matches across all pagination
DROPBOX_SAVE_URL has a 15-minute timeout for large files
File Content
DROPBOX_READ_FILE may return content as base64-encoded file_content_bytes
Non-downloadable files (Dropbox Paper, Google Docs) require DROPBOX_EXPORT_FILE instead
Download URLs from shared links require proper authentication headers
Sharing
Creating a shared link when one already exists returns a 409 Conflict error
Always check DROPBOX_LIST_SHARED_LINKS before creating new links
Shared folder access may not appear in standard path listings; use DROPBOX_LIST_SHARED_FOLDERS
Imported: Limitations
Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
