Navigate key features in Dropbox Dash

We begin our demo where you'll start each day, the Dash homepage, the heart of the AI powered assistant that helps you find, organize, and work faster across all your tools. Let's start by going over how Dash connects everything together.

Dash works best when it's connected to the apps that you use every day. Think Google Drive, Slack, Zoom, Asana, Jira, and more.

There are a few types of apps, one of which is company apps. These are connected on a team wide basis by your admin. So think of apps like Dropbox, Slack, Google Drive, SharePoint, Teams.

Here in the apps panel, you can see the apps that are already connected by your admin. Then there are user apps where you can connect to other apps relevant to your job with admin control over which apps are available. Think of apps that'll make an impact on your specific workday. Examples like Gmail, Outlook, Salesforce, and Notion. So let's say you're a sales rep who needs Dash to link to your company CRM and help get you to go faster. You'll find the appropriate app and click the plus sign.

You'll then be prompted to fill in your credentials and authenticate. Once you authenticate your account, Dash will automatically start indexing your content securely so you can search across your entire workspace.

Avail yourself of these apps since the more places that Dash can search, the more effective it'll be.

And finally, we have a browser app for Chrome, Edge, and Safari, which enables Dash to ingest your web history and supercharge your search experience. Highly recommend doing this to ensure that Dash can continue to elevate your work experience even when you're just searching the web.

Once your user apps are set up and you're allowed just a few minutes to index everything, Dash will pull everything together from the company and the user apps on your start page.

Here, you'll see your personalized activity feed. Recent activity stacks keep you organized, which we'll get into in a later session, and meetings. Basically, everything you need to hit the ground running on your day.

The activity feed showcases actions taken on the files that you've had recent interaction with and allows easy access to those files.

If you were one of the many project managers who use Dash, you'd leverage this activity fee to monitor team updates and hold your team to deadlines.

Dash also integrates with your calendar, giving you a quick snapshot of your day and one click access to meeting notes or shared files and even the ability to join direct from Dash.

Everything is interconnected. The apps that you set up power what you see here. Now let's go through the universal search experience. No matter your company or your role within it, everyone gets stuck looking for something multiple times a day, and this search bar is going to be a fast friend. Dash tells me I can find anything. So let's say I'm a customer success manager looking for last quarter's product road map to chat through with my customer later today. I can simply type in q three road map.

Dash searches across all connected tools, so it's going to show me potentially relevant Google Docs, Slack threads, PDFs, images, videos, and surface the most relevant results instantly.

Let's say I know for sure that the final version was stored in Google Drive. I can filter by app and select Google Drive, or perhaps I know for sure that it was a PDF.

In that case, I can filter by content type and select the appropriate option. I can even filter by when it was last updated or the people that are involved in the document. Whatever I choose to filter by, I'll keep in mind that the more limited I make the filters, the narrower the search becomes.

If I don't remember for sure the exact file name, that's okay. I can use natural language instead. Like, show me the latest customer feedback summary.

Dash understands context and will summarize with answers as well as suggest follow-up questions.

So let's go that one step further. We'll chat with Dash, not just search. I like one of these suggested follow-up questions, so I click it. And now Dash has morphed into an assistant that will answer my question and offer me even more information.

Dash pulls from connected tools to answer and cites the sources, which I can click open in new tabs if I'd like to.

Regardless, Dash keeps me in the flow of work. I can keep asking questions or move on.

Dash even allows me to begin organization right in the flow of search.

After I've found the information that I'm looking for, I can choose to create a stack from the top five results.

Stacks are an organizational feature that lets users collect and organize various types of content, like documents, links, and media into one place similar to folders or playlists.

Then once I've collected the right information, I can share a stack internally or externally. Dropbox content in a stack is automatically viewable by recipients with one click access granting no matter where the file lives or even whether or not they also have Dash.

Now that we've shown how an end user can search for content across multiple apps and also pull specific insights from this content, let's take a quick tour of a console for admins so you can ensure your team's content is safe and secure.

Here, you can organize organization wide settings, like which apps are available and what's still out there to be added.

Admins can also set up and review policies, which are automated rules that identify risks and enforce security measures efficiently.

You can also monitor and manage team activity and content through the reports tab, as well as modify settings that will help govern your team's Dash environment in terms of branding, content, device management, and security.

Admins of Dash for Business teams will have access to protect and control, which provides full visibility, remediation, capabilities, and action history for document permissions across connected apps.

Admins can use Protect and Control to secure company information by reviewing and managing document sharing.

Preset filters and detailed item views are included to facilitate managing external and internal access, supporting compliance and security efforts effectively. If you don't see this functionality in your admin account, it's not included in your subscription. And that's the quick look at Dropbox Dash, your connected workspace for finding, asking, and working smarter.

Dash combines AI powered universal search with powerful organization and collaboration tools, letting users quickly find, summarize, and share content across multiple apps without switching platforms, but it also depends on the humans that use it to continue to grow.
