# Dropbox Integration

Plenty of AV firms keep their AS-builts, manufacturer spec libraries, and client commissioning packets in Dropbox. Connect AVCodex and the agent searches, browses, organizes, and shares straight from the chat.

* * *

Connect Dropbox to your AVCodex agent so it can browse folders, search for files, get metadata, create folders, generate sharing links, and move files through natural conversation.

## [What the AI Can Do# ](#what-the-ai-can-do)

Once connected, your agent gains six tools:

Tool

Description

**dropbox\_list\_files**

List files and folders in a directory (use empty path for root)

**dropbox\_search**

Search for files and folders by name or content

**dropbox\_get\_file\_metadata**

Get detailed metadata for a specific file or folder

**dropbox\_create\_folder**

Create a new folder at a specified path

**dropbox\_get\_sharing\_link**

Create or retrieve a shared link for a file

**dropbox\_move\_file**

Move or rename a file or folder

### [Search Options# ](#search-options)

The search tool supports filtering by file category:

-   Documents, spreadsheets, presentations (AS-builts, BOMs, design submittals)
-   Images, audio, video (rack photos, room walkthroughs)
-   Folders

## [Connecting Dropbox# ](#connecting-dropbox)

**1.** **Open the Integrations tab**

In your agent's builder, navigate to the **Build** section and select the **Integrations** tab. Find **Dropbox** in the list of available integrations.

**2.** **Click Connect**

Click the **Connect** button next to Dropbox. You will be redirected to Dropbox's authorization page.

**3.** **Authorize access**

Sign in with your Dropbox account and approve the requested permissions.

**4.** **Test it out**

Once connected, open the chat preview and try: - "List the files in my Dropbox root" - "Search for the Acme HQ AS-built" - "Create a shared link for the Crestron spec sheet"

## [How It Works# ](#how-it-works)

### [File Browsing# ](#file-browsing)

The agent navigates Dropbox using folder paths. Ask it to browse a specific directory or start from the root:

-   "What's in my Dropbox?" lists the root directory
-   "Show me the files in /Projects/Acme-HQ-2026" browses a specific project folder
-   Recursive listing is supported for deep folder exploration

### [Sharing Links# ](#sharing-links)

The agent can create or retrieve shared links for any file:

-   If a shared link already exists, it returns the existing one
-   If not, it creates a new public link
-   Useful for sending a manufacturer spec sheet to a dealer rep, or an AS-built to a client, mid-conversation

### [File Organization# ](#file-organization)

The agent can reorganize your Dropbox:

-   "Create a new folder called 'Closeout' in /Projects/Acme-HQ-2026"
-   "Move the commissioning checklist to the Closeout folder"
-   "Rename the BOM file to 'BOM-AS-Built-Final.xlsx'"

### [Metadata# ](#metadata)

Each file and folder includes:

-   Name and path
-   File size
-   Last modified date
-   File type (file or folder)

## [Example Use Cases# ](#example-use-cases)

-   **File lookup**: "Find the AS-built for the Acme HQ courthouse refresh"
-   **Project organization**: "Create a new project folder for the Riverside Hospital expansion and move all related design files into it"
-   **Quick sharing**: "Get me a sharing link for the Q-SYS Designer file so I can send it to the on-site programmer"
-   **Recent activity**: "What files were recently modified in the Acme HQ Documents folder?"
-   **Cleanup**: "Search for all old Crestron submittal drafts and list them so I can archive them"

## [Billing# ](#billing)

Dropbox tool calls use your standard LLM token billing. There is no separate per-call fee.
