# Find Dropbox Content

Use this skill to locate relevant Dropbox files and folders without changing anything.

## Tools

- `search`
- `list_folder`
- `get_file_metadata`

## Workflow

1. Clarify the search target only if the user request is too broad to act on.
2. Use `search` for broad keyword, title, file type, or natural-language searches.
3. When `search` returns a cursor and more results are needed, continue with `search` using the cursor only.
4. Use `list_folder` with `recursive=false` when the user names a folder or wants to browse a location.
5. When `list_folder` returns a cursor and more folder results are needed, continue with `list_folder` using the cursor only.
6. Use `get_file_metadata` for strong candidates before presenting a final recommendation.

## Output

Return the best matches first. For each result, include:

- Name
- Object type: file or folder
- Path or stable identifier
- Modified time when available
- Why it matched the request
- Any ambiguity or confidence caveat

## Safety

Do not create, copy, move, delete, restore, download, or share content. If the user asks to take one of those actions after finding content, switch to the relevant Dropbox skill.

## Good Triggers

- "Find the Q4 planning deck in Dropbox."
- "Search Dropbox for onboarding docs."
- "What files are in this folder?"
- "Find recent PDFs about the launch plan."
- "Where is the customer contract?"

## Do Not Use When

- The user already provided an exact file and wants its content inspected. Use `inspect-dropbox-file`.
- The user explicitly asks to create a shared link. Use `share-dropbox-content`.
- The user asks to add viewers or share directly with named recipients. Explain that recipient-sharing is unavailable until the required MCP tools are exposed.
- The user asks to restore or recover content. Explain that recovery is unavailable until the Dropbox restore tool is exposed.
