Streamline Dropbox file sharing with automated URL shortening

This template watches a Dropbox folder for new files, creates a shared link, and shortens that link with TinyURL.

Use it when you drop files into a folder and want a short URL ready to send. Connect Dropbox and TinyURL, then point the trigger at the folder you share from.

How Latenode estimates time and cost

Latenode bills workflow runtime in CPU seconds. The first 10,000 CPU seconds are free each month, then usage follows pay-as-you-go CPU-second pricing. Plug-and-Play (PnP) AI nodes are billed separately—each PnP token is $1 USD, charged pay-as-you-go at vendor cost plus a small processing fee, with no API keys required.
