Weekly Dropbox Shared Link Audit

Review all Dropbox shares in one place—find overshared files and old links

Nora audits all your Dropbox shared links weekly, identifies which are still active, who has access, and flags links older than 6 months for cleanup.

It's easy to lose track of Dropbox links you've shared over time. Nora runs weekly and lists all shared links, showing the file name, share date, access level (view/edit), and number of people with access. It flags links shared more than 6 months ago and identifies any with edit access (more permissive). You get a report showing all shares ranked by age, and Nora suggests removing old links or downgrading to view-only. This is critical for contractors, consultants, and agencies handling client work—you need visibility into what you've shared and when. Compliance teams love this for audit trails.

How it works

  1. Query all Dropbox shared links on your account
  2. Extract metadata: file name, path, share date, access level, link expiry
  3. Calculate age of each link (today minus share date)
  4. Flag links older than 180 days or with edit access
  5. Group results by age and access level
  6. Generate report with suggestions to remove or downgrade
