File Workflows That Handle Themselves.
Automate file organization, approval routing, and content lifecycle management in Dropbox with plain-English rules your teams build in minutes.
Describe It in English.
It Runs Deterministically.
Overview
Monitor Dropbox folders for new uploads; classify and organize files by type and project; route documents for approval and enforce retention policies automatically.
Execution Steps
Detect and Classify Uploads
- Monitor shared Dropbox folders for newly uploaded files and extract metadata like file type, size, and creator
- Classify each file into the correct project folder based on naming conventions, content analysis, and upload location
Route for Approval
- Identify files requiring review such as contracts, design assets, or compliance documents based on folder rules
- Send an approval request to the designated reviewer with a Dropbox preview link and a one-click approve or reject action
Enforce Retention and Archive
- Scan Dropbox folders for files past their retention period and move them to a cold storage archive
- Log every classification, approval, and archival action to the compliance audit trail

Kognitos is a leading US-based artificial intelligence platform designed to transform how businesses operate by automating repetitive tasks and enhancing efficiency. Our AI automation platform allows users to automate complex business processes simply by communicating their goals in plain English. Leveraging advanced technologies like a proprietary LLM-based interpreter, Intelligent Document Processing (IDP), Optical Character Recognition (OCR), and Natural Language Processing (NLP), Kognitos enhances productivity, speed, and accuracy. Unlike traditional automation solutions that require complex coding, Kognitos offers unparalleled adaptability and scalability, empowering businesses to streamline workflows and eliminate manual tasks without extensive technical knowledge.
Process automation refers to the use of technology to automate repetitive, manual tasks within a business or organization. The goal is to streamline and optimize workflows, increase efficiency, reduce errors, and save time and resources. This can be achieved through the implementation of various technologies, such as RPA, Workflow Automation, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence.
Security is a core principle of Kognitos' architecture, built on state-of-the-art cloud services with strong security foundations. Critical business processes run on the Kognitos platform, and we prioritize the security of both the processes and their data. Kognitos employs serverless, cloud-based services with the principle of least privilege access. For example, a service without a need to access a database does not have access to it. Kognitos has achieved the SOC 2 Type II certification for our best-in-class security controls and compliance with the AICPA's Trust Services Criteria. Learn more

Dropbox automation questions.
What can I automate between Kognitos and Dropbox?
Resource provisioning policy enforcement, cost-anomaly response, log-review and evidence packaging, and writing results back to your ITSM / SIEM. Kognitos reads from Dropbox, applies the policy you wrote in plain English, and writes back deterministically with a full audit trail — no probabilistic LLM action.
How does Kognitos connect to Dropbox?
Through Dropbox's official API using scoped credentials (OAuth or API key, depending on which Dropbox supports). Kognitos stores credentials in a managed secret store with rotation; permissions are limited to what your automation actually needs.
What events in Dropbox can trigger a Kognitos automation?
Common triggers include a budget threshold crossed, a resource-state change, a scheduled audit, or an alert from monitoring. Kognitos supports both event-driven (webhook) and scheduled execution, and you can mix both inside a single automation.
Can business users build Kognitos + Dropbox automations without code?
Yes. The Kognitos Builder Agent walks you through the process in conversation; you describe what you want in English (e.g., "every weeknight, reconcile Dropbox records against the warehouse and email me anything that doesn't match") and Kognitos generates and runs the automation. No drag-and-drop, no Python, and no third-party iPaaS.
Is Dropbox data safe with Kognitos?
Yes. Kognitos is SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA-attested, ISO 27001-certified, and GDPR-aligned. Dropbox data is processed inside the customer tenant, encrypted in transit and at rest, never used to train upstream models, and every decision is captured in an immutable English-language audit log.
How do I get started with the Kognitos + Dropbox integration?
Book a 30-minute demo. We'll help you connect Dropbox, pick a real bottleneck from your team's backlog, and ship a working automation written in plain English in the first session — no procurement runway required.
