Dropbox's official remote MCP server (beta) gives AI clients access to Dropbox files: browse folders, search, read content and metadata, create, copy, move, and delete files, manage shared links and file requests, and work with Paper docs. It authenticates through Dropbox OAuth. Dropbox also offers a separate Dash MCP server.
