Links your cloud storage to the assistant, letting you inspect documents, store generated outputs, and share files without jumping between apps.
Open on GitHubWhat dropbox does
This integration links personal or team cloud storage straight to Codex and ChatGPT. You can inspect stored documents and generate sharing URLs during a conversation. Switching browser tabs is unnecessary.
Model outputs can also be saved into your cloud folders. That keeps drafts organized. The assistant strictly honors your current account privileges. It cannot view any folder you lack clearance for. Because authorization stays tied to your credentials, private team files stay protected.
What it helps with
- read documents from Dropbox storage directly inside the chat
- save assistant-generated text and code back to cloud folders
- generate file-sharing links without opening the Dropbox web interface
Example prompts for the agent
- Find
notes.txtin my Dropbox account and summarize its main points. - Write a project summary and save it to the
Projectfolder in my Dropbox. - Create a sharing link for
roadmap.pdfstored in my cloud files.
