Overview
This skill provides read-only access to your Dropbox account, allowing you to browse folders, search files, and download content from OpenClaw. It uses OAuth 2.0 authentication with automatic token refresh for seamless long-term access. Perfect for: Safely accessing your Dropbox files without worrying about accidental modifications or deletions.
Browse Files & Folders
List contents of any folder in your Dropbox View file sizes and modification dates Navigate folder hierarchies
Search Files
Full-text search across file names Find files anywhere in your Dropbox Get file metadata and locations
Download Files
Download any file from your Dropbox Save to local filesystem Batch download support
Automatic Token Management
OAuth 2.0 authentication with refresh tokens Automatic token refresh (no manual re-authentication) Secure credential storage Token expiration handling with 5-minute buffer
Security & Permissions
This skill is configured for read-only access with the following Dropbox scopes: files.metadata.read - Read file/folder metadata files.content.read - Read file content account_info.read - Read account information NOT included: โ files.content.write - Cannot upload or modify files โ files.metadata.write - Cannot rename or move files โ files.permanent_delete - Cannot delete files This ensures your Dropbox content remains safe from accidental modifications.
Prerequisites
Before using this skill, you need: A Dropbox account (free or paid) A Dropbox App registration (takes 5 minutes) App key and App secret from your Dropbox App Node.js with dropbox package (auto-installed) Setup time: ~10 minutes See Setup Guide for step-by-step instructions.
1. Create Dropbox App
Visit https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps/create and create a new app: API: Scoped access Access type: Full Dropbox (or App folder for restricted access) App name: Something unique like "OpenClaw-YourName"
2. Configure OAuth
In your app's settings: Add redirect URI: http://localhost:3000/callback Copy your App key and App secret Under Permissions tab, enable: files.metadata.read files.content.read account_info.read
3. Save Credentials
Create credentials.json in the skill directory: { "app_key": "your_dropbox_app_key_here", "app_secret": "your_dropbox_app_secret_here" } Important: This file is gitignored and will never be committed.
4. Run OAuth Setup
node setup-oauth.js This will: Open your browser for Dropbox authorization Start a local server to capture the authorization code Exchange the code for access + refresh tokens Save tokens securely to token.json
5. Test Connection
node test-connection.js If successful, you'll see your Dropbox account information!

Integration with OpenClaw
From OpenClaw, you can use the exec tool to run these scripts: Browse files: Run: node /path/to/dropbox-integration/browse.js "/Documents" Search for files: Run: node /path/to/dropbox-integration/search-files.js "contract" Download a file: Run: node /path/to/dropbox-integration/download.js "/path/in/dropbox" "./local/path" Or create custom automation workflows that use the dropbox-helper.js module directly.
Authentication Flow
Initial Setup: User authorizes the app via OAuth 2.0 Token Storage: Access token + refresh token saved to token.json Auto-Refresh: Before each API call, checks if token needs refresh Seamless Access: Automatically refreshes tokens 5 minutes before expiration
Token Lifecycle
Access Token: Short-lived (typically 4 hours) Refresh Token: Long-lived (doesn't expire unless revoked) Auto-refresh: Happens transparently in dropbox-helper.js Refresh Buffer: 5 minutes before expiration to prevent edge cases
File Structure

"credentials.json not found"
Create credentials.json with your Dropbox app key and secret (see Quick Start step 3).
"Token refresh failed"
Your refresh token may have been revoked. Re-run node setup-oauth.js to re-authenticate.
"Permission denied" errors
Check that you enabled the required permissions in your Dropbox App settings under the Permissions tab.
"redirect_uri_mismatch"
Make sure you added http://localhost:3000/callback to your app's redirect URIs in Dropbox App Console.
OAuth setup gets stuck
If the local server doesn't catch the redirect, manually copy the full URL from your browser after authorization and look for the code= parameter.
Limitations
Read-only: Cannot upload, modify, or delete files (by design) File size: Practical limit ~150MB per download (Dropbox API constraint) Rate limits: Dropbox API has rate limits (typically not an issue for personal use) Shared folders: Access depends on your Dropbox account permissions
Security Best Practices
Never commit credentials: credentials.json and token.json are gitignored File permissions: Tokens are saved with mode 0600 (user read/write only) App-specific tokens: Each app has its own tokens (easily revokable) Scope limitation: Only request permissions you actually need Token rotation: Refresh tokens are rotated automatically

Using the Helper Module
For custom integrations, import the helper directly: const { getDropboxClient } = require('./dropbox-helper'); async function myCustomFunction() { const dbx = await getDropboxClient(); // Auto-refreshing client // Use any Dropbox SDK method const response = await dbx.filesListFolder({ path: '/Photos' }); console.log(response.result.entries); } The helper automatically handles token refresh, so you never need to worry about expiration.
Batch Operations
Download multiple files in sequence: const { getDropboxClient } = require('./dropbox-helper'); const fs = require('fs').promises; async function downloadMultiple(files) { const dbx = await getDropboxClient(); for (const file of files) { const response = await dbx.filesDownload({ path: file.dropboxPath }); await fs.writeFile(file.localPath, response.result.fileBinary); console.log(`Downloaded: ${file.dropboxPath}`); } }
Dependencies
This skill requires the dropbox npm package: npm install dropbox The package is automatically installed when you install this skill via ClawHub.
