- Dropbox brings Dash into its own cloud storage platform
- It already connects across Slack, Canva and more
- Availability is still limited as users must join a waiting list
Dropbox is adding more of its Dash AI features to the main app and interface to make it easier for employees to find what they need.
Launched in 2023 as a universal search bar that connects with third-party apps like Slack, Canva, and Google Workspace, Dash will now support smarter search, summaries, and contextual responses across files stored in Dropbox.
Progress doesn’t stop there either, as Dropbox has promised to soon add multimodal search, which will support searching videos, audio and images via a partnership with Mobius Labs.
Dropbox Dash AI is coming to… Dropbox
It really was a natural progression for Dropbox to bring its AI tool to its own platform, though no one expected it to take this long — and you’ll have to sign up for an early access waiting list for now
The company stated that 95% of AI tools fail because they lack context across apps, so perhaps building third-party support was a priority so that it would be even more powerful when Dash launched in Dropbox.
“It’s like having an AI teammate who actually understands you and your team,” Dropbox said.
There are two ways to access Dash – the first is an easy-to-set-up app aimed at managing scattered and hidden content, and the second is the new Dropbox integration.
At the same time, Dropbox also announced the new Dash MCP server, which means that MCP-compatible apps like Claude, Cursor and Goose can access the search functions from their own interfaces.
“Whether you’re drafting an email or reviewing code, the answers and insights you need are always at your fingertips with Dash,” the company wrote.
For now, the Dash app is only available to teams in the US and only in English, but no Dropbox plan is required. Wider Dash in Dropbox availability will follow “in the coming months.”
