dropbox

dropbox is a skill for Claude Code from apideck-libraries/api-skills. It costs 67 tokens per session (1,945 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An integration guide for connecting to Dropbox, a service for storing and sharing files, through Apideck’s shared file-storage API. It covers files, folders, drives, uploads, and searches.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list, search, read, upload, or manage files and folders in Dropbox.
Why use it?
It avoids writing Dropbox-specific connection code and can reuse the same approach for other supported file-storage services. Apideck handles connection details such as authentication and paging.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

dropbox scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 20d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 167 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Dropbox (via Apideck)

Access Dropbox through Apideck's File Storage unified API — one of 5 File Storage connectors that share the same method surface. Code you write here ports to SharePoint, Box, Google Drive and 1 other File Storage connectors by changing a single serviceId string. Apideck handles auth, pagination, rate limiting, and retries so you don't write per-tenant Dropbox plumbing.

Quick facts

At a glance

  • Implementation difficulty: moderate — Self-Service App Registration + Dropbox Production Approval Required to Connect Users at Scale
  • Vendor partnership required: no (Dropbox App console) — No contract and no partner programme. Registering an app is free and self-service.
  • Apideck-managed credentials: available — Temporary shared credentials for trying the connector; going live needs the app owner's own Dropbox app.
  • Account type required: Any Dropbox account, including a free individual one.
  • Consumer access level: Any Dropbox user can authorize access to their own account; no administrator role is involved.
  • Sandbox: not available — Dropbox has no separate test environment.
  • Costs: No published fee for API access. What an account can do follows its own Dropbox plan.
  • Rate limits: No published figures. Limits apply per authorized user, or per team for team apps, and Dropbox returns 429 with a Retry-After header.
  • Authentication: Authorization Code flow.
  • Webhooks: No webhooks — Dropbox changes are picked up by polling instead.

Important to know:

  • A Dropbox app starts in Development status. Its 50th connected user starts a two-week clock to obtain Production approval, and Dropbox will not usually review before that point, so applying early does not avoid it. Missing it stops new connections; existing ones keep working.
  • An app is created with either App folder or Full Dropbox access, and Dropbox does not allow that choice to be changed afterwards. Correcting it means registering a new app, which every already-connected consumer then has to authorize again.
  • Adding a scope later does not reach consumers who already connected: Dropbox keeps an existing authorization exactly as it was granted and never re-prompts, so each of them has to authorize again before the new permission works.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
