Yes. The upload_file tool takes a destination path and file content. Claude can write a generated report or processed asset straight into any Dropbox folder without a manual download-and-upload step.
The search tool queries Dropbox full-text and filename indexes across all accessible folders. It returns matching file metadata so Claude can then call download_file or get_shared_link on the relevant result.
Yes. get_shared_link creates or retrieves an existing Dropbox shared link for a file. The link respects whatever sharing settings are already configured on the file or folder.
Dropbox moves the item to the user's Dropbox trash, not permanent deletion. It can be restored from the Dropbox web interface within the account's recovery window.
