The files, sorted and shared from the thread.
Ask for the file, move it, make the link. Cedric proposes the change in Dropbox and waits for your yes.

- Dropbox holds the files, and the recurring question is which one is final and where the link is.
- Cedric searches by name or content, lists folder contents, and reads the file so it can say what is inside.
- It creates, renames, moves, copies and deletes files and folders, and restores a file to an earlier version.
- Shareable links with a password and expiry, and shared folders with their members, are managed from the thread.
- Sharing, deleting and overwriting are visible to others or hard to undo, so each one waits for your yes.
What can a Dropbox AI agent do?
Most of what a team wants from Dropbox is one file among many: the final export, the client's brief, the photo set from last week. A Dropbox AI agent finds it from the conversation. Cedric searches the account for files by name or content, lists what a folder contains with details about each file and folder, downloads or reads the contents of existing files, and reviews recently changed files so "what did the designer upload yesterday" has an answer.
The other half is keeping the folders in order and getting files to people. Cedric uploads new files and creates, renames, moves, copies and deletes files and folders. It generates and manages shareable links, with password and expiry settings where the account supports them, and it manages shared folders and their members, inviting or removing people. That is what lets an operations assistant hand a client the right folder with a link that expires on Friday, from the channel where the request came in.
When a file has been overwritten, Cedric views its earlier versions and restores it to a previous state. It also checks account details and storage usage, so a full account is noticed before an upload fails. Large uploads and heavy request volume are subject to Dropbox's rate and size limits, so a big batch runs in stages rather than in one go.
Handing off the finals
Four files found, one link proposed, one yes.

@Cedric find the final logo files for the Marlow rebrand, put them in Clients/Marlow/Final, and make a link for the client that expires Friday.
CedricAPP9:15 AM
Search found 4 files for "marlow logo final" in Projects/Marlow/Working: marlow-logo-final.svg, .png, .pdf and marlow-logo-final-mono.svg, all last changed Tuesday by you. Proposed: copy the four into Clients/Marlow/Final (exists, currently empty), then a view-only shared link on that folder, no password, expiring Friday 5 September. The working copies stay where they are.
Found
Files by name or content, folder contents with details, recently changed files, and the contents of a file read so the answer is about what is inside.
Organized
Uploaded, renamed, moved, copied or deleted, with earlier versions viewed and a file restored to a previous state when an overwrite went wrong.
Shared
A shareable link with password and expiry where supported, or a shared folder with the right members, proposed first and created on your yes.
Connect Dropbox in a minute
No setup project, no workflow builder, no field mapping. The flow is the same for every tool Cedric connects to.
- 01
Install Cedric where your team talks
One click. It joins your Slack like any other member, and everyone shares the same Cedric.
- 02
Connect Dropbox from the dashboard
Open the Integrations page and sign in with Dropbox on its own screen. Cedric never sees or stores your password, and you can revoke the connection in one click at any time.
A fresh connection can look but not touch: read-only until you say otherwise.
- 03
Ask in plain words
Back in the channel, try it: "what did the team upload to the client folder this week?". You describe the outcome; Cedric picks the Dropbox actions the ask needs. There is nothing to configure.
Connect for the whole workspace so the team shares it, or keep the connection personal. Two accounts are fine too; each gets a short name.
- 04
Let it become routine
Schedule the recurring version of the ask, and let Cedric fold Dropbox into bigger jobs that cross your other tools. Anything that would leave your workspace still comes back as a preview to approve first.
Better in company
The client's files arrive as attachments in Gmail; Cedric can save them to the right Dropbox folder and reply with the shared link, both on your yes. If the client is a deal in HubSpot, the link can be noted on the record.
The project page in Notion can list the Dropbox folder's current contents on request, and a delivery log in Google Sheets can get a row per shared link with its expiry, without anyone copying paths.
Where the limits are
Dropbox is a catalog connection, not a built-in playbook. Cedric works from what the Dropbox connection can read and do; ask in plain words and it says what it can reach there, and what it cannot.
Sharing and deleting are visible to others. A shared link, a folder invitation, a delete or an overwrite is proposed with the exact files and people, and runs only on your yes.
Dropbox's rate and size limits apply. Large uploads and heavy request volume are limited, so a big batch of files moves in stages rather than in one go.
Cedric sees what the Dropbox connection grants and nothing more. Access is scoped, logged, and revocable from the dashboard, effective immediately.
Nothing sends itself. An email, a post, a change to a record: anything with consequences comes back as a preview for a human yes. That is the design, not a beta caveat.
FAQ
Yes. Dropbox is one of the 3,200+ apps in Cedric's catalog: connect it once from the dashboard, on Dropbox's own sign-in screen, and ask in plain words. There is no built-in playbook for it, so Cedric works from what the connection can read and do, and tells you when something is out of reach.
Yes, where the account supports it. Shareable links can carry a password and an expiry date, and Cedric proposes both settings with the link before creating it. Existing links can be reviewed and managed the same way.
Cedric views the file's earlier versions and restores it to a previous state on your yes. Overwrites are proposed before they happen for the same reason: an upload to an existing path is shown as a replacement first.
Connect it for the whole workspace and everyone shares it, with one person authorising once. A connection you would rather not share, a personal inbox for instance, can stay personal to you.
Yes, and it starts that way: a fresh connection can look but not touch until you say otherwise. Even with write access granted, anything that changes or sends waits for an approval.
