What clean-up-dropbox-content does

The skill runs deletion in Dropbox as a review process, not a sweep. It pins down scope first, then gathers candidates with search or list_folder and checks each one through get_file_metadata. For anything shared, list_shared_links shows whether other people would be affected.

You get a review list before anything is removed: path, type, modified time, sharing status and the reason an item looks safe. Deletion waits for your explicit confirmation, and delete runs only on the exact items you approved. Want a copy kept first? The skill confirms the destination, calls copy, then polls check_job_status until the job finishes.

There is no undo. The Dropbox MCP tools expose neither revision listing nor restore, so a copy made beforehand is the only fallback. Long-running copy and delete jobs are tracked through check_job_status, and the final report covers copied, deleted, skipped, pending and failed items, with reasons for failures.

What it helps with

  • clear duplicate PDFs out of one Dropbox folder
  • remove obsolete drafts without touching files others rely on
  • delete temporary exports once work is done
  • keep a copy of a file before removing it and wait for the copy to finish
  • get a candidate list with a stated reason per item

Example prompts for the agent

  • Delete these Dropbox files: exports/report-v2.pdf and exports/report-v3.pdf.
  • Clean up duplicate PDFs in Projects/2024 — show me the list first, delete after I confirm.
  • Remove the temporary exports from Dropbox, but copy them to Archive/temp before deleting.

It finds obsolete, duplicate and temporary Dropbox content, verifies each candidate, and deletes only the items you explicitly confirm.

No. The Dropbox MCP tools offer no revision listing or restore, so make a copy first — the skill can copy and waits for the job to complete.
