## What it 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.
