# dropbox — Agent Skill

The Dropbox plugin for Claude connects your Dropbox files directly to Claude, so you can search, organize, save generated content, and create sharing links without switching tools. It respects your existing Dropbox permissions, and Claude only works with files you already have access to.

## At a glance

dropbox is an Agent Skill by dropbox in the Writing & Content category. In Claude Code it installs with `/plugin install dropbox@claude-plugins-official` after adding the anthropics/claude-plugins-official marketplace; other assistants use its SKILL.md instructions as rules. Its source repository has 11 GitHub stars (as of Oct 28, 2026).
