share-dropbox-content — Codex skill: what it does, how to install
Creates and inspects Dropbox shared links for files and folders, verifying existing permissions directly through the agent.
npx skills add openai/plugins --skill share-dropbox-content -a codexWhat share-dropbox-content does
The skill manages Dropbox link creation and link inspection. When triggered, the assistant locates the target with search or directory listing tools, checks metadata, and scans through active links to see whether a valid link already exists.
It asks for explicit user approval before calling create_shared_link. Once created, the agent outputs the URL, states whether it reused an existing link, and reports effective expiration or password settings.
Sharing directly with named recipients or viewers will fail. The required MCP tools for recipient-based sharing are not available, so link-based sharing remains the only working option.
What it helps with
- create a shared URL for a Dropbox document or folder
- inspect effective access settings on an existing link
- check paginated link listings before generating duplicates
- verify file metadata prior to sharing
Example prompts for the agent
- Generate a public share link for the marketing folder
- Check access rules for this Dropbox link
- Give me a link to view the proposal file
