I need a file cabinet for all my legendary memes
Today, we're launching Dropbox Dash!
“Where’s that file?”
Four words that might be the most expensive sentence in a business.
Millions wasted rewriting and rebuilding what we already know-just because context is lost. The cost isn’t just money.
It’s momentum.
Dropbox Dash fixes this - Dash is your AI teammate that surfaces the content and context you need to stay focused and on track.
As an early user for command E glad to see this live
But also waiting for @SparkleApp to add Drive to universal search + shocking ClickUp search across apps works reasonably well

Logging and testing for these workflows are going to be so interesting.

Genuinely impressed by how well Dropbox pulled this off. This reminds me of that first demo video @drewhouston dropped in 2007

Finally being able to easily find files!! Dropbox just launched an AI assistant to search through all contents (with integration to Notion, Google Drive & calendar, GitHub and Zoom etc)🚀

This is the final nail in the coffin. Nobody will ever know how to find a file ever again. Ctrl+S will send it into the void and you will pray to the AI gods that they will retrieve it when requested, and that they won't delete it when they misunderstand.
Implications:
Users will continue the downward trend of not understanding file systems or how to send files to people. Everything will soon be an access link generated by some system like this. This has its own complications I won't go into, but suffice to say it doesn't always work.
Expect storage requirements to balloon out-of-control as organized albeit oversized archives of historical reports, photos, and emails turns into a hoarder stash of shit dumped into a half-dozen cloud-hosted heaps with no organization, just a Harry Potter wand and a prompt to type "Accio weekly report!" and hope it finds it for you.
There are some chances that this will allow for some optimization. Users aren't known for having tidy file systems. A company-managed or AI-managed system could possibly reduce duplications and otherwise optimize it, much like a SQL database does automatically. But on the whole, I expect this to increase data retention requirements because missing files now means missing context that will throw everything off.
