Dropbox: Download File Or Folder

Description

This step downloads a file or folder from Dropbox to a local directory. You provide the Dropbox path and the local output folder. The step offers options to clear the output folder before downloading, add timestamps for duplicate files, and attach the file to the request result. Use this step in workflows that pull files from Dropbox for local processing, retrieve shared documents, or collect content for reporting.
