Dropbox Spring 2025 Release: Search Videos and Images鈥攁nd Create Content Fast鈥攚ith the Updated Dropbox Dash
鈥淜nowledge workers waste more than a month a year just looking for information and switching between apps,鈥� said Drew Houston, co-founder and CEO of Dropbox. 鈥淲ith the new Dash, we're not just helping you find your content faster鈥攚e're helping you put it to work.鈥�
Find anything鈥攙ideos, images, even people on teams
Work isn鈥檛 limited to just text. Dropbox users upload billions of videos and images to its platform every year. That鈥檚 why Dash鈥檚 new search works across all content types, including images, videos, and audio files. It even helps customers find information hidden inside media that traditional search can鈥檛 reach, so they don鈥檛 need to remember exact file names to find what they need. Simply type 鈥渟canned release forms from our customer event鈥� or 鈥淪pring campaign we shot in New York,鈥� and Dash finds it, instantly.
And sometimes it鈥檚 not what customers are looking for鈥攊t鈥檚 who. Dash鈥檚 new people search* can quickly identify subject matter experts within an organization鈥攎aking it easy to learn more about teammates or discover who wrote the latest brand messaging.
Get to a final draft, fast
Dropbox鈥檚 new suite of AI writing tools offloads the most tedious tasks that stand in the way of a polished draft by gathering relevant information from existing content. Ask 鈥淲hat were the key takeaways from our customer research last month?鈥�, and Dash analyzes reports, meeting notes, and Slack conversations to provide a comprehensive summary in seconds.
Need to create a project brief? Simply type 鈥淐reate a project plan for our Q3 marketing campaign鈥� and Dash pulls together a first draft using goals from strategy docs, timelines from past campaigns, and budget considerations from finance spreadsheets鈥攕aving hours of digging and compiling. It can even assemble it in a preferred template and write it in a team鈥檚 own voice.
Customers can work with the tools they love
Dash gives customers the freedom to use the tools that work for them. It now integrates with essentials like Slack and Microsoft Teams, along with creative and project management apps like Canva and Jira. These deeper connections keep work moving seamlessly. Search Canva files directly from Dash, or ask 鈥淲hat did the team decide about the social media visuals?鈥� to get answers from across Slack and Zoom transcripts without toggling between apps.
Protect everything, everywhere
For IT admins, controlling who sees what isn鈥檛 just important鈥攊t鈥檚 mission critical. Dash includes advanced security controls that let admins exclude sensitive content and manage access permissions across connected apps. With the new custom exclusions feature, IT teams can keep certain HR documents, financial data, or confidential projects out of search results. Dash is also fully GDPR compliant, so teams around the world can use it to securely find what they need, stay organized, and get work done faster.
Dropbox knows privacy, transparency, and security are top priorities for its customers. Customers can always choose a self-hosted AI, ensuring their data stays within Dropbox鈥檚 boundary of trust. And Dash鈥榮 Protect and Control capability allows businesses to secure confidential documents and manage access with confidence. With more than a trillion pieces of content stored on Dropbox, the company is committed to maintaining trust as it continues improving Dash and .
