Connect OpenClaw to Dropbox

Dropbox is the file storage and sharing service that teams use as the shared drive for everything that is not code: contracts, design files, client deliverables, recordings and the spreadsheet everyone edits. The folder structure starts tidy and drifts. Finding the final version of a file, creating a share link for a client, moving last quarter’s work into an archive folder and uploading the same report to three places are all small tasks that add up.

With Claworc’s External Connections, an OpenClaw agent can work inside your Dropbox account on your behalf. You sign in to Dropbox once through a popup, Composio holds the resulting OAuth token, and the agent gets an auto-generated claworc-dropbox skill that tells it which Dropbox tools exist and how to call them. The agent never sees a password, an OAuth token or an access token.

Tools available to OpenClaw agents

Composio’s Dropbox toolkit exposes 174 actions across files, folders, sharing, tags, file requests and team administration. These are the ones an OpenClaw agent reaches for most often:

• Search files and folders — find a file by name or content without knowing which folder it ended up in.
• Browse and inspect — list a folder’s contents and check sizes, modification dates and revisions to pick the right version.
• Upload files — put a new file, such as a generated report, into a chosen path.
• Create share links — produce a link you can send to someone outside the team.
• Move and copy — reorganize files and folders without dragging things around in the web UI.
• Create and share folders — set up a new project folder and give the right people access.
• Download a folder as a zip — grab an entire folder in one archive when someone needs everything at once.

Every tool is called through a small broker running next to the agent, so the agent only needs to describe what it wants done in plain language and let the skill handle the rest.

Use cases

Find the file, get the link

“Send me a share link for the latest signed MSA with Acme.” The agent searches for the file, checks its metadata to pick the most recent version, and returns a share link. Instead of a five-minute hunt through nested folders, you have a link in the chat.

Weekly report drop

Have the agent generate a report each Friday, upload it to the Reports/2026 folder, and post the path and share link in your team channel. If the month’s folder does not exist yet, it creates the folder first.

Archive a finished project

“Archive everything in Clients/Acme under Archive/2026.” The agent lists the folder, moves it, confirms nothing was left behind, and can hand you a zip archive of the whole folder for your records before the move.

Get started

Connecting Dropbox takes three steps: an admin adds a Composio API key to Claworc’s settings, you open the instance’s Settings tab, click + Add connection, pick Dropbox and sign in. The claworc-dropbox skill appears in the instance a moment later. The full walkthrough, including the exact Composio permissions the key needs, is in the External Connections documentation.
