AI-generated overview

Organizes Dropbox files and folders by creating folders and copying or moving content into a cleaner structure.

What it does
This skill guides an agent through reorganizing Dropbox content: inventorying items, checking metadata, drafting a change plan, creating destination folders, and copying or moving files. It requires confirmation before any mutation and reports created, copied, moved, pending, and failed items afterward. It prefers copying over moving when intent is ambiguous and never deletes content.
When to use it
Use it when a user asks to organize, archive, consolidate, restructure, copy, or move Dropbox content. It is not for searching or inspecting only, deleting content, or restoring content.
Requirements
Dropbox tools for listing folders, searching, reading file metadata, creating folders, copying, moving, and checking job status. No scripts are included; instructions only.

Organize Dropbox Folder

Use this skill to safely organize Dropbox content through folder creation, copying, and moving.

Tools

  • list_folder
  • search
  • get_file_metadata
  • create_folder
  • copy
  • move
  • check_job_status

Workflow

  1. Understand the desired organization goal and target scope.
  2. Use list_folder or search to inventory the relevant content.
  3. Use get_file_metadata for items that may be moved or copied.
  4. Draft a proposed change plan before any mutation.
  5. If needed, create destination folders with create_folder after confirmation.
  6. Use copy when preserving the original location matters or when the user says copy/duplicate.
  7. Use move only when the user explicitly wants content relocated or archived.
  8. Use check_job_status for any asynchronous copy or move job until it completes or must be reported as pending.
  9. After changes, summarize all created, copied, moved, and pending paths.

Confirmation Required

Before any mutation, confirm:

  • Source paths
  • Destination paths
  • Whether the operation is copy or move
  • Whether destination folders should be created
  • Expected result after the operation

Output

Before mutation, present a plan:

  • Folders to create
  • Files or folders to copy
  • Files or folders to move
  • Items that need clarification

After mutation, report:

  • Successfully created folders
  • Successfully copied items
  • Successfully moved items
  • Pending jobs and current status when relevant
  • Any failures or skipped items

Safety

Prefer copy over move when the user intent is ambiguous. Do not move shared folders or high-level team folders without extra confirmation. Do not delete anything; use clean-up-dropbox-content only when deletion is explicitly requested.

Good Triggers

  • "Organize these files into folders by client."
  • "Archive last year's project folder."
  • "Copy these assets into the launch folder."
  • "Move all final PDFs into the Final folder."

Do Not Use When

  • The user only wants to search or inspect content. Use find-dropbox-content or inspect-dropbox-file.
  • The user asks to delete content. Use clean-up-dropbox-content.
  • The user asks to restore content. Explain that recovery is unavailable until the Dropbox restore tool is exposed.
