## What it does

This skill handles Dropbox file requests: it can create one, retrieve a request by its raw ID, or list existing requests. For a new request, the agent confirms the title, destination folder, any requested deadline, and the available open or closed setting. Creating a destination folder also requires explicit approval.

The destination must be a child folder beneath a team root or a user's personal root. A root itself cannot receive a file request, so choose a nested path such as `/FirstName LastName/Invoices`. After creating or finding a request, the agent gives its URL and the folder where uploads will land. Uploaded files should not be treated as private or reviewed; the skill calls for explaining the access implications.
