Dropbox Folder

Dropbox Folder works with the folders in your Dropbox account: it creates new folders, gets their details and contents, deletes them or shares them with other people by email.

When to use it

  • Creating a folder for each new customer.
  • Automatically sharing a folder with a collaborator.
  • Listing a folder’s contents to process its files.

Configuration

The Operation field decides what the component does: Create (default), Get, Delete or Share. Mode Of Input decides how you point to the folder: By Selection (default, choosing it in Select Folder), All Folders in Dropbox, By Id, By Filename or By Url.

You need a Dropbox API credential, with which you sign in to your Dropbox account. See Credentials.

In tool mode, an agent can use the component by itself. See Tool Mode.
