Share Dropbox Content
Use this skill to create or inspect Dropbox shared links and explain shared-link state.
Tools
create_shared_link
list_shared_links
get_shared_link_metadata
get_file_metadata
search
list_folder
Workflow
- Identify the target file or folder.
- If the target is ambiguous, use
search or list_folder and ask the user to choose.
- Use
get_file_metadata to confirm the exact target.
- Use
list_shared_links when checking current sharing state or before creating a new link if existing links matter; continue while the response indicates has_more or returns a cursor before treating the existing-link state as complete.
- Use
get_shared_link_metadata when the user provides or asks about a specific shared link.
- Before calling
create_shared_link, summarize the exact sharing plan and ask for explicit confirmation.
- After sharing, report the resulting URL, effective access settings, and any warnings or partial failures.
- If the user asks to add viewers, add recipients, or share directly with named people, explain that recipient-sharing is unavailable until those MCP tools are available. Offer to create a shared link instead when appropriate.
Confirmation Required
Before creating a shared link, confirm:
- Exact target file or folder
- Link/access settings requested by the user
- Expiration, password, or download settings when supported
Output
After a successful action, include:
- Shared link URL
- Whether the link was newly created or reused
- Effective access settings
- Any warning that existing link settings differ from requested settings
- Whether shared-link pagination was complete when existing links were checked
Safety
Never create a link automatically after finding, downloading, or creating content. Do not claim access was granted to named recipients or viewers; recipient-sharing tools are not available.
Good Triggers
- "Create a share link for this Dropbox folder."
- "Create a link to this file."
- "Check who can access this Dropbox link."
- "Send me a share link for the launch deck."
Do Not Use When
- The user only wants to find a file. Use
find-dropbox-content.
- The user only wants metadata or content summary. Use
inspect-dropbox-file.
- The user wants to collect uploads from others. Use
collect-files-with-request.
- The user wants to add viewers or share directly with named recipients. Explain that recipient-sharing is unavailable until the required MCP tools are exposed.
