What can an AI teammate do with Dropbox?

A Dropbox AI teammate can browse folders, search for files by name or content, download and read file contents, upload new documents, move files between folders, and generate shared links. It works on a schedule or on demand, and write actions like uploading or moving files always require your approval.

Can my teammate access all folders in my Dropbox?

Your teammate can access folders that your connected Dropbox account has permission to view. You can scope tasks to specific paths in the task instructions to limit access further.

Will my teammate modify or delete files without asking?

No. Write actions like uploading, moving, and creating shared links require your approval in safe and plan permission modes. Read-only actions like searching and listing folders happen automatically.

How is a Dropbox AI teammate different from Dropbox automations?

Dropbox automations handle simple rule-based triggers within Dropbox. An AI teammate reasons across tools: it reads a file's contents, decides what to do with it, and can route information to Slack, Notion, or any other connected tool based on context.
