Hello, AI-enhanced universal search

We’re taking the wraps off Dropbox Dash beta, a new product designed to help you accelerate work, maintain focus, and organize more easily. 

With Dash, you can:

  • Access the info you need instantly. Search for content across Google Workspace, Microsoft Outlook, Asana, Notion, Salesforce, and more from a single, centralized place.
  • Save time and frustration. Find out what meetings to attend, what files you’ll need, and which projects to prioritize from one tab.
  • Smart, AI-enhanced organization. Collect and organize everything in one place.

Dropbox Dash is currently in beta and is available in English only.

A new look for previews gives you more editing power

We’ve redesigned file previews on the web to help logged-in users take action more quickly. We’re rolling out new features, so when you open a file on dropbox.com, the preview page will feature a new title bar, giving you quick access to editing tools:

  • Crop, rotate, flip, or trim videos
  • Add closed captions to videos with auto-generated transcription 
  • Crop, rotate, flip, or adjust images
  • Adjust pages, add comments, highlight text, and more in PDFs, then send them out for signature

We’ve refined mobile PDF editing

We’re continuing to improve the PDF editing experience in Dropbox with new features for our mobile app. We’re rolling out the ability for Android users to add text, dates, and signatures to PDFs right from the Dropbox app. We’ve also made the Edit button easier to find on iOS so that users can make quick adjustments on the go.

Three new reports give admins the information they need

Admins now have visibility into how team members are contributing to their storage quota with the following reports:

  • Team Storage Report: This report captures all content stored in your Dropbox, including team folders, shared folders, private folders, backups, app sandbox folders, and archived team folders, and gives admins a high-level overview of content counted against the team’s storage quota.
  • Members Data Report: See how much content each user has access to. Admins can also view each user's total data usage across team folders, internal and external shared folders, and personal files. 
  • Member Access Report: See the size and number of files each user has stored across team folders, shared folders, and personal folders and files.

Plus, admins can now turn off apps in the admin console, making them no longer appear in their navigation menu.
