> Connect Dropbox to Claude, ChatGPT and other AI agents. Find job photos, drawings and service reports by asking, and file new ones in the right folder.

Dropbox is the filing cabinet of many trade and field service businesses. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC firms and maintenance contractors keep a folder per customer or job, full of before-and-after photos, wiring diagrams, quotes, compliance certificates and the occasional video of a strange noise. It is simple and it works on every phone, which is exactly why the folders fill up fast.

Six months later, the office gets a call: "You fixed our boiler in March, can you send the gas certificate?" Somebody then scrolls through folders and file names that each technician named differently. Agentic CMMS connects Dropbox to Claude, ChatGPT and the other AI agents your team uses, so finding that certificate becomes a single question.

## What your AI agent can do with Dropbox

- **Find a job's paperwork.** "Get the gas safety certificate for the boiler job at 14 Elm Road in March." The agent searches the customer folders and returns the certificate.
- **Pull the right photos.** "Show the before and after photos from last week's rooftop unit replacement at the bakery." The agent finds the job folder and lists the images by date.
- **Read a drawing or schematic.** "What breaker size does the panel schedule for the Smith extension show for the kitchen circuit?" The agent opens the PDF and reads the schedule.
- **Collect files from a customer.** "Ask the property manager at Harbour View to upload photos of the leak." With write access, the agent sets up a file request into the job folder.
- **Keep folders tidy.** "Create the standard job folder for a new quote at 22 Mill Lane." The agent creates the folder and its usual subfolders.
- **Get back a lost version.** "Restore the earlier quote PDF before it was overwritten yesterday." The agent finds the previous version in the history.
- **Hand files to a subcontractor.** "Share the electrical drawings for the warehouse fit-out with our cabling subcontractor." The agent creates a sharing link and tells you what it shared.

## Dropbox with your other systems

The job sits in your field service app, the money sits in your accounts, and the evidence sits in Dropbox. One question can cover all three:

- Attach the completion photos from Dropbox to the matching job in [ServiceM8](/integrations/servicem8), [Jobber](/integrations/jobber) or [simPRO](/integrations/simpro) before the job is closed.
- Find the signed quote in Dropbox when a customer disputes an invoice in [Xero](/integrations/xero).
- Check that every job completed this month in [Housecall Pro](/integrations/housecall-pro) has its compliance certificate filed.

## Built for small offices with busy vans

In a trade business, the office is often one or two people supporting a team out on the road. The agent takes on the searching and filing, so the office can answer customers quickly. Each person approves their own agent, owners decide who may share files outside the business, and the activity log shows who asked for what.

## Questions and answers

### Can ChatGPT find job photos in our Dropbox?

Yes. The agent searches job folders by customer, site, address or date and returns the photos and documents it finds, with links to open them.

### Can an AI agent send a Dropbox file request to a customer?

With read and write access, the agent can set up a file request so a customer or subcontractor uploads photos or documents straight into the right job folder.

### How do I connect Dropbox to Claude?

An owner or admin connects your Dropbox account once on the Connect page. Each teammate then adds the MCP address to Claude and approves their own agent with their own login.
