Create Dropbox Folder

Posted on by CU12010559-0

I need to create a folder in Dropbox using the Power Automate connector, but there doesn’t appear to be a dedicated Create Folder action. I’ve tested using the Create File action and noticed that if I include the new folder name in the path, the folder is created automatically.

While this works in testing, I’m unsure how reliable or supported this approach is long-term. Has anyone used this method in production, or can comment on whether it’s considered safe or best practice?

Hi @CU12010559-0

Haven't used this approach for Dropbox. But I have used this for OneDrive files many times.

In the Create File action it would do the same thing, it would create the folder if it doesn't exist yet. Based on that I should say it is pretty reliable.

Happy to help out 😁

Hi @CU12010559-0,

Since there is no action for Dropbox create folder itself you can use HTTP action for full control and based on the Dropbox documentation you can provide below details

URI: https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/create_folder_v2

Method: POST

Headers:

Authorization: Bearer <Token>

Content-Type: application/json

Body:

{
"path": "/PowerAutomate/TestFolder",
"autorename": false
}

Below link to DropBox API documentation

https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-create_folder

Regards,

Srini
