The Blue Cloud

This is the unofficial Raycast Extension for Dropbox allowing you to List Files, Search Files, Download Files, and more.

📥 Downlaoading

In order to download files from the convenience of Raycast, set a "Download Directory" in Preferences (if it is not set, you will be asked to set one when downloding for first time)

TIP: Make sure Raycast has permission to access the directory you choose

When downloading, you may need to re-authorize your Dropbox login in order to have the required permissions (not to worry, you will be prompted to do so)!
