SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Collecting files from clients, vendors, or candidates often means chasing email attachments and manually organizing uploads. This Skill creates and manages Dropbox file requests so others can upload files directly into a designated Dropbox folder through a shareable link.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Create File Requests: Set up a new Dropbox file request with a confirmed title, destination folder, deadline, and open/closed status.
  • Inspect and List Requests: Check the status of a specific file request by ID or list all existing file requests.
  • Safe Folder Handling: Create destination folders only after explicit confirmation, and enforce Dropbox's rule that requests cannot target a team root or personal root folder.
  • Use Case: A recruiter needs portfolios from job candidates. Use this Skill to create a file request titled "Candidate Portfolios" pointing to /Recruiting/Portfolios, then share the generated upload URL with applicants.

Quick Start

Create a Dropbox file request titled "Vendor Invoices" with the destination folder /Finance/Invoices and give me the upload link.

Frequently Asked Questions about collect-files-with-request

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a Dropbox file request to collect uploads?▼

Confirm the request title, destination folder, and optional deadline, then the create_file_request tool generates the request with a shareable upload URL. The destination must be a child folder, not a team root or personal root.

How do I check the status of an existing Dropbox file request?▼

Use get_file_request with the known request ID to inspect one request, or list_file_requests to see all existing requests when you cannot identify a specific one.

Why can't I create a Dropbox file request at the root folder?▼

Dropbox does not allow file requests at a team root like / or a personal root like /FirstName LastName. You must confirm a child folder under that root, such as /FirstName LastName/Invoices, as the destination.

Can I create the destination folder for a file request automatically?▼

Yes, but only after explicit confirmation of the exact folder path and parent folders. The create_folder tool is used only when the destination does not exist and you approve creating it.

When should I use file requests instead of sharing Dropbox content?▼

Use file requests when you need others to upload files to you. If you want to share existing content with others, use the share-dropbox-content skill instead, and use organize-dropbox-folder for organizing existing files.
