Dropbox launched AI search tool Dropbox Dash: aggregate multi-office platform and visually manage work tasks.
CTOnews.com Dropbox Japan, a Japanese subsidiary of cloud storage service provider Dropbox, recently released a beta version of Dropbox Dash, an AI-based universal search tool that aggregates multiple popular office platforms and applications to effectively improve user information search efficiency.
Dropbox Dash integrates with platforms such as Google Workspace, Microsoft Outlook and Salesforce, allowing users to quickly find the information they need for work in the same search bar, sharing content, joining meetings or finding presentations without jumping back and forth between apps. Because Dropbox Dash uses machine learning, search results continue to improve based on user preferences as users use it more.
Dropbox Dash also provides a stack feature that allows users to quickly store, organize, and retrieve web addresses and visually categorize them like a folder list.
Dropbox Dash also has a dashboard home page that gives users quick access to universal search, stacks, recently processed content and more.
Dropbox Dash will also support the use of generative AI to answer questions in the future, and display internal data of the user's company based on user information, thus eliminating the need for users to access the company intranet for data retrieval. Dropbox Dash is currently offering an English beta for select customers.
Dropbox also launched a new service called Dropbox AI, which applies AI to file previews. With a single click, Dropbox AI aggregates and extracts content such as contracts or meeting recordings, so users can quickly grasp the content without having to look at the entire file. In addition, Dropbox AI also supports quick retrieval of information in large files by asking questions, further improving user information retrieval efficiency. Dropbox says the service will soon support cross-folder and cross-account usage, and is currently only available to all Dropbox Pro users in the United States.
CTOnews.com previously reported that Dropbox announced that it would lay off 16% of its employees at the end of April and said it would focus more on developing AI-based products.
