Dropbox Dash
Dropbox Dash is an AI-powered universal search tool, designed to extend beyond Dropbox’s capabilities by allowing users to search across connected apps, emails, and more — all from a single place. It integrates with various popular tools like Google Workspace, Microsoft Outlook, Salesforce, and Notion, offering a unified search bar for all connected applications.
Dash also features the ability to answer questions by summarizing relevant information from your apps, files, and content. It can gather and summarize all the relevant information and provide you with answers to your questions.
Additionally, it introduces smart collections that come in the form of the so-called “Stacks” for organizing important information across files, apps, and browser links in one place. This part uses AI to put different pieces of content together and make it available to the users.
Dash could also be used to keep your workday on one central page, from what meetings to attend, what files you’ll need, and which projects to prioritize-all in one distinct tab.
As a result of this process streamlining, Dropbox promises improved teamwork and productivity — which entails less scrolling and scanning.
