Manage collaborative docs via Dropbox Paper — create documents, search content, handle shared links, and move files directly from any AI agent.

Connect your Dropbox Paper account to any AI agent and take full control of your collaborative document creation and file organization through natural conversation.

What you can do

  • Live Document Creation — Create brand-new Dropbox Paper documents by parsing literal markdown boundaries directly into rendered .paper artifacts
  • Content Discovery — Execute deep full-text indexing queries to search across all your Paper documents and retrieve content snippets natively
  • Directory Orchestration — List all files and Paper documents in any specified Dropbox folder path to browse and discover your workspace
  • Metadata Auditing — Retrieve detailed metadata for specific documents, extracting exact structural limits mapping hashes and file IDs directly
  • Atomic File Operations — Move, rename, or permanently delete Paper documents and files by transmitting logical atomic routing operations
  • Shared Workspace Control — List all folders shared with or by you, and manage exposed public or restricted routes for specific documents securely
  • Storage Monitoring — Check current storage space usage and quotas to ensure physical volume safety across your account
  • Account Oversight — Retrieve the authenticated profile identity bindings to verify permission limits and account contexts natively

Move '/Documents/Old_Report.paper' to '/Archive/2023/'
