API overview

Pre-release
Manage identity and access, then use Dropbox file APIs
View as Markdown

Agent Filesystem APIs create managed users, manage agents and workspace rules, mint short-lived credentials, and recover agent writes. Agents can belong to managed users or existing Dropbox users. User and agent tokens use Dropbox file APIs for content and metadata operations. Tenant administration is Coming soon.

Agent Filesystem is in Private Preview and is subject to change. Contact your Dropbox representative to request access.
