Dropbox
Independent cloud file storage and sync service with a stable REST API used by many automation platforms.
Definition
Dropbox is one of the original cloud storage services, still used heavily in creative and SMB workflows. Its API supports file upload and download, folder operations, sharing, and webhook subscriptions for file changes. Most automation platforms ship a Dropbox node, often used to trigger workflows when a contract or asset lands in a watched folder.
