Check File Requests in the Current Dropbox Plugin for Claude Code

Inspect an existing test file request and verify its status and destination before sharing an upload workflow.

Setup for Claude Code

This guide uses Dropbox's maintained Claude edition at the linked commit. Use a connected test account with an existing sample request and access to its metadata.

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

Use an existing Dropbox test request named Book Club Uploads aimed at your test folder. Ask Claude Code to inspect the request, report its current status and verified destination, and omit the upload link from the response.

Expected result

The status report identifies the exact request and shows its observed destination if the connector exposes it. It neither creates nor changes an upload request.
