How to Add a Download File Action to a New Workflow in Dropbox?

This topic was automatically generated from Slack. You can find the original thread here.

so part question, part feature request perhaps. im building a workflow and using an existing workflow i have as a guide. the existing workflow runs on new Dropbox file and downloads the file to tmp. i tried to add this to a new workflow, and for the life of me, i can’t find the right action. i searched for download, file, nothing seems to match this. is this an action thats no longer usable for new workflows? also, if i click it in PD, it would be nice if the ‘formal’ name of the action was available somehow

That action is under the “app” Helper Functions and called Download File to /tmp

3

It’s also in the Pipedream Utils “app”

4

We merged all helper functions, utils, formatting in Pipedream Utils

5

ah. so looking at items there, it looks like search wont match things there. shouldnt it?

6

The first search will search apps

7

right - but if i dont know where those things are - id never think to look in helpers, right?

8

Yeah but we pinned Pipedream Utils at the top

9

i dont see that -

i mean i see it, but its not on top

12

now looking, i see the icon matches

13

Well close to the top

14

heh. question remains though - should search go deeper?

15

Meaning you don’t need to search for it to see it

16

That would depend on how product views that

17

right - but if i forget ‘Download’ is under helpers… see my issue?

18

Yea, totally get it and totally agree search can be improved a lot there.

19

it doesnt help, and you’ve heard this before, sorry, that i use PD obsessively for a few days than not for a few months :wink:
