Collect Files With Request

Use this skill to help users collect files from others through Dropbox file requests.

Tools

• create_file_request
• get_file_request
• list_file_requests
• create_folder
• get_file_metadata
• list_folder

Workflow

1. Determine whether the user wants to create a new file request, inspect one request, or list existing requests.
2. For a new request, identify the destination folder.
3. Do not use a team root, such as /, or the user's personal root, such as /FirstName LastName, as the destination. Dropbox requires the file request destination to be a child folder under that folder, such as /FirstName LastName/Invoices.
4. If the requested destination is a team root or the user's personal root, ask the user to confirm a child folder under that folder.
5. If the destination folder does not exist and the user wants it created, use create_folder only after explicit confirmation.
6. Before calling create_file_request, confirm the title, destination folder, deadline if applicable, and whether the request should be open or closed if that option is available.
7. Use get_file_request for a known raw request ID.
8. Use list_file_requests when the user asks for existing requests or cannot identify one.
9. After creating or finding a request, explain the request URL and where uploaded files will land.

Confirmation Required

Before creating a file request, confirm:

• Request title
• Destination folder, confirmed to be a child folder under any requested team root or the user's personal root
• Deadline, if requested
• Any access or open/closed setting supported by the tool

Before creating a destination folder, confirm:

• Exact folder path
• Whether parent folders already exist
• That the folder is not a team root, such as /, or the user's personal root

Output

Return:

• File request title
• Request URL or identifier
• Destination folder
• Status
• Deadline, if any
• Any action the user still needs to take

Safety

Do not create folders or file requests without explicit confirmation. Do not assume uploaded files are private or reviewed; describe the destination and access implications clearly. Dropbox does not allow file requests at a team root, such as /, or the user's personal root; ask the user to confirm a child folder under that folder and do not retry with a guessed folder.

Good Triggers

• "Create a Dropbox file request for vendor invoices."
• "Make an upload link for candidates to submit portfolios."
• "Show my open file requests."
• "Check the status of this file request."

Do Not Use When

• The user wants to share existing content. Use share-dropbox-content.
• The user wants to organize existing files. Use organize-dropbox-folder.
• The user wants to recover deleted files. Explain that recovery is unavailable until the Dropbox restore tool is exposed.
