organize-dropbox-folder — Codex skill: what it does, how to install
This skill restructures Dropbox content by making folders, copying items, or moving them. It fits requests to archive, consolidate, or reorganize files.
npx skills add openai/plugins --skill organize-dropbox-folder -a codexWhat organize-dropbox-folder does
The skill first clarifies the target area and the intended structure. It can inspect Dropbox with list_folder or search, then retrieve item details through get_file_metadata. Before changing anything, it lays out the proposed folders, copies, and moves.
Once confirmed, it uses create_folder, copy, or move for the requested action. Copying keeps the source in place, while moving is reserved for an explicit relocation or archive request. Long-running operations are tracked with check_job_status, and the final report covers completed and pending paths.
A change requires source paths, destination paths, the operation type, and the expected result to be confirmed first. Shared folders and top-level team folders need extra confirmation before they are moved. The skill does not delete Dropbox content.
