Perfect for teams generating temporary AI images, exports, or cached assets that need regular cleanup without manual intervention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat this workflow does\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis n8n automation workflow provides scheduled maintenance for your Dropbox account by scanning for PNG files and removing outdated content. The workflow runs every 2 days using a schedule trigger, searches your entire Dropbox for PNG files, and intelligently filters them based on age and protection rules. Using a sophisticated code node, it identifies files older than 48 hours while respecting exclusion lists for protected folders and filenames. The system processes deletions in batches to prevent API rate limiting, ensuring reliable operation even with large file volumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUse cases\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAI image workflows:\u003c\/strong\u003e Automatically clean up temporary PNG outputs from image generation tools and design automation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExport management:\u003c\/strong\u003e Remove outdated screenshot exports, report graphics, and visualization files\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCache cleanup:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maintain storage efficiency for workflows that create temporary PNG assets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTeam collaboration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep shared Dropbox folders organized by removing old preview images and thumbnails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDevelopment workflows:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clean up PNG assets from testing, staging, or build processes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntegrations:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dropbox OAuth2 API integration for file management\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003en8n nodes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Schedule Trigger, Dropbox, Code, Split in Batches, Sticky Note\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRequirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e n8n platform (cloud or self-hosted), active Dropbox account, configured OAuth2 credentials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCustomization options:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adjustable file age thresholds, support for different file types (.jpg, .mp4, etc.), configurable exclusion paths, flexible scheduling frequency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSetup takes minutes: import the workflow, connect your Dropbox credentials, optionally adjust the 48-hour threshold or schedule frequency, test with sample files, and activate.
