What it does

This workflow monitors new Dropbox shared links as they're created. If a link grants public anyone-with-the-link access to a folder marked sensitive, it pauses for IT review: it posts the details to a Microsoft Teams approval channel and revokes the link automatically when no one approves it in time.

When to use it

Use it to stop accidental public exposure of confidential team folders. Instead of discovering an open link weeks later in an audit, IT is alerted the instant one is made and can keep or kill it with one click.

How it works

  1. 1A new-shared-link event triggers the flow.
  2. 2The flow reads the link's audience and resolves the parent folder.
  3. 3A branch keeps only public anyone-with-link shares on folders tagged sensitive.
  4. 4It posts an approval card with link, creator, and folder to a Teams channel.
  5. 5If approved, the link stays and the decision is logged; if the timer lapses, Dropbox revokes the link.
  6. 6The outcome is posted back to the same Teams thread.
