# Dropbox

> Use Dropbox in Workflow Machine for file-based workflows, uploads, moves, copies, and shared file handling.

## What Dropbox is good for

Dropbox is useful when workflows need to work with files and folders.

Typical examples include:

* uploading files
* moving or renaming files
* creating folders
* generating shareable file links

## Common workflow patterns

Dropbox is a good fit for:

* document intake workflows
* automated file organization
* file handoff processes
* content distribution workflows

## Triggers and actions

Dropbox workflows usually focus on file events and file operations. Check the step picker for the currently available Dropbox triggers and actions in your workspace.

## Connection requirements

Before using Dropbox:

* create a Dropbox connection
* confirm the correct account is connected
* verify the workflow has access to the target folders and files

## Troubleshooting tips

If a Dropbox step fails, check:

* whether the file path or folder target is correct
* whether the selected account has access
* whether the workflow is trying to operate on a file that no longer exists
