Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/tirandagan/dropbox-integrationWhat This Skill Does
The dropbox-integration skill for OpenClaw provides a secure, read-only gateway to your Dropbox files. By utilizing the official Dropbox API via OAuth 2.0, it allows the OpenClaw agent to browse directories, perform full-text searches across your documents, and download specific files directly to your local machine. This skill is specifically architected for security; it operates with minimal read-only scopes, ensuring that the AI agent has absolutely no permissions to delete, rename, or upload files to your account. It features an automated token management system that handles refresh tokens in the background, ensuring uninterrupted access without requiring manual re-authentication.
Installation
- Register a new 'Scoped access' application at the Dropbox Developer Console.
- Set the redirect URI to 'http://localhost:3000/callback'.
- Enable 'files.metadata.read', 'files.content.read', and 'account_info.read' permissions.
- Create a 'credentials.json' file in the skill directory containing your 'app_key' and 'app_secret'.
- Execute 'node setup-oauth.js' to initiate the authorization handshake and store your persistent credentials.
- Run the installation command: 'clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/tirandagan/dropbox-integration'.
Use Cases
- Research Assistance: Let OpenClaw find and summarize specific documents or PDFs buried in deep subfolders.
- File Organization: Ask the agent to locate specific file types or old archives to prepare them for manual archiving.
- Content Retrieval: Quickly pull specific assets or project files into your active working directory based on natural language queries.
Example Prompts
- "OpenClaw, search for all PDF files in my 'Projects' folder related to Q3 reports and list them for me."
- "Can you find the latest design mockup in my Dropbox and download it to the current folder?"
- "List the files in my 'Invoices' folder and tell me which ones were modified in the last week."
Tips & Limitations
- Tip: Keep your 'credentials.json' and 'token.json' files strictly local; never commit them to version control systems like GitHub.
- Tip: Use specific folder names in your prompts to help the agent narrow down the search scope, which improves response latency.
- Limitation: This skill is strictly read-only. It cannot be used to upload files or organize your Dropbox structure.
- Limitation: Large file downloads may take a moment; please allow the agent to confirm the download status after initiation.
