# Dropbox
Operate **Dropbox** through your OOMOL-connected account. This skill calls the `dropbox` connector with the [oo CLI](https://github.com/oomol-lab/oo-cli); OOMOL injects credentials server-side, so you never handle raw tokens.
Category: Storage, Productivity. Exposes 12 action(s).
## Running an action
Assume the user has already installed the oo CLI, signed in, and connected Dropbox. **Do not run `oo auth login` or open the connection URL proactively — just run the action.** Fall back to [First-time setup](#first-time-setup) only when a command actually fails with an auth or connection error.
**1. Inspect the contract** to get the authoritative input/output schema before building a payload:
```bash
oo connector schema "dropbox" --action "<action_name>"
```
**2. Run the action** with a JSON payload that matches the input schema:
```bash
oo connector run "dropbox" --action "<action_name>" --data '<json>' --json
```
- `--data` takes a JSON object string or `@path/to/file.json`; omit it to send `{}`.
- The response is `{ "data": ..., "meta": { "executionId": "..." } }`; the execution id lives under `meta.executionId`.
Each action below links to a reference file with its purpose and exact commands. Read the linked file, then fetch the live schema with `oo connector schema` before constructing `--data`.
## Available actions
- [`copy`](actions/copy.md) — Copy one file or folder to another Dropbox path.
- [`create_folder`](actions/create_folder.md) — Create one folder in Dropbox.
- [`create_shared_link`](actions/create_shared_link.md) — Create one Dropbox shared link with optional custom settings.
- [`delete`](actions/delete.md) — Delete one file or folder from Dropbox.
- [`download_file`](actions/download_file.md) — Download one Dropbox file and upload it to transit storage.
- [`get_current_account`](actions/get_current_account.md) — Get basic profile information for the current Dropbox account.
- [`get_metadata`](actions/get_metadata.md) — Get Dropbox metadata for one file or folder.
- [`list_folder`](actions/list_folder.md) — List files and folders inside one Dropbox folder.
- [`list_folder_continue`](actions/list_folder_continue.md) — Continue a previous Dropbox folder listing with a cursor.
- [`list_shared_links`](actions/list_shared_links.md) — List Dropbox shared links for the current user or a specific path.
- [`move`](actions/move.md) — Move one file or folder to another Dropbox path.
- [`upload_file`](actions/upload_file.md) — Upload one file to Dropbox from inline text or base64 content.
## Safety
- Read actions (get / list / search) are safe to run directly.
- **Create, update, send, or post actions change Dropbox state — confirm the exact payload and effect with the user before running.**
- **Delete or remove actions are destructive — always confirm the target and get explicit approval first.**
## First-time setup
These are **one-time** steps — do not repeat them on every call. Run a step only when a command fails for the matching reason.
- **`oo: command not found`** — install the oo CLI (other platforms: <https://cli.oomol.com/install-guide.md>):
```bash
curl -fsSL https://cli.oomol.com/install.sh | bash # macOS / Linux
```
```powershell
irm https://cli.oomol.com/install.ps1 | iex # Windows PowerShell
```
- **Not signed in / authentication error** — sign in to your OOMOL account once:
```bash
oo auth login
```
- **`scope_missing` / `credential_expired` / `app_not_ready` / `app_not_found`** — Dropbox is not connected, or the connection expired or lacks a scope. Connect once (auth type: OAuth2) at:
```text
https://console.oomol.com/app-connections?provider=dropbox
```
- **HTTP 402 / `OOMOL_INSUFFICIENT_CREDIT`** — billing stop. Recharge at `https://console.oomol.com/billing/token-recharge` before retrying.
