Preview Cleanup Candidates in the Current Dropbox Plugin for Claude Code

Review candidate Dropbox files with exact paths and reasons before approving any cleanup of a test folder.

Setup for Claude Code

This guide uses Dropbox's maintained Claude edition at the linked commit. Connect an account that can list the isolated sample directory. The example asks for a report only.

Install the Dropbox plugin in Claude Code, or load the complete claude/ directory from the linked Dropbox repository through Claude Code's plugin directory option.
Complete the plugin's Dropbox sign-in for a dedicated test folder. Open a fresh Claude Code session with Dropbox enabled and give the exact sample path or request title.

Example task

In a disposable Dropbox folder, keep notes.txt and create draft.tmp. Ask Claude Code for a cleanup preview scoped to that folder, flag only the .tmp file for review, and keep both files untouched.

Expected result

The preview lists draft.tmp with its exact path and a clear reason for review. notes.txt is excluded, and the status reports zero file changes.

Frequently asked question

Does a Dropbox cleanup preview delete candidate files?

The preview identifies review targets and their reasons. A later delete requires explicit approval of the exact files. The example ends before that approval.
