Review a File-Copy Plan in the Current Dropbox Plugin for Claude Code

Preview the exact source and destination paths for a small Dropbox reorganization before approving changes.

Setup for Claude Code

This guide uses Dropbox's maintained Claude edition at the linked commit. Use a connected Dropbox account with access to a dedicated test folder and distinct source and destination directories.

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 with Inbox/Agenda.txt and Archive/, ask Claude Code to propose copying Agenda.txt from Inbox/ to Archive/. Tell it to present the two exact paths, keep Inbox/Agenda.txt, and stop at the plan.

Expected result

The plan names Inbox/Agenda.txt as the source and Archive/Agenda.txt as the destination, explicitly uses copy, and reports that the files are unchanged while approval is pending.
