Unlike a connector that asks for everything and relies on you reading a consent screen, Dropbox makes you build the app first and tick the scopes there. That is more setup and a better outcome: a read-only app cannot be talked into writing. Version restore is the tool that makes the write side survivable — an agent that overwrites a file has not destroyed it. Markdown extraction is the quiet one worth knowing about, since it turns documents into something a model can actually read.
Dropbox's own hosted endpoint. Twenty-four tools spanning ordinary file work and the things that are awkward through a UI: restoring a version, extracting text, checking quota.
- File operations: list a folder, read content, create, delete, copy, move
- Search across the account
- Shared links and file requests
- Version restore
- Transcription and Markdown extraction from documents
- Account quota
An app created in the Dropbox App Console with the scopes you want, a redirect URI configured for your client, then OAuth authorisation. The scope selection at app-creation time is where the real permission decision happens.
Paste a URL, then authorize — add the endpoint to your client, then approve the OAuth consent screen
