7 Dropbox Dash Reviews
Dropbox Dash makes it easy for me to create stacks for projects that have links to all the relevant documents I go to every day. It can summarize information from new documents that are sent to me from others. It can write a summary with information from multiple documents. The enhanced search can help me find documents in Dropbox and other applications extremely fast. It increases productivity, increases the speed and efficiency of cross-team collaboration, presents the relevant data needed for my projects in a clear and concise manner. What's not the like?! Oh, and the browser extension rocks too.
I start my day looking at the stacks for the projects I need to do immediate work on. I have Dash pinned in my browser because it's the first place I go to get to the project information I need. My team has a shared stack which allows us to see all the projects my team is working on, and share the most relevant links we all go to.
There is almost no learning curve to start using Dropbox Dash. It's simple to license and simple to connect applications. It's very easy to show a few things to a new user and have them start to see the usefulness of the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are a few things in the UI I would like to see work differently. But those modifications might be very specific to the way I use Dropbox Dash. The option to customize parts of the UI would be useful. Beyond those, there is nothing I dislike about Dash. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our technology ecosystem includes several overlapping tools such as Dropbox and SharePoint. We observed that employees tended to favor the platform they learned first and were often reluctant to adopt alternatives. Dropbox Dash has proven to be an effective solution by enabling users to continue using their preferred software repositories while facilitating seamless collaboration. With Dash, those accustomed to Dropbox can stick with it, SharePoint users can do the same, and they can easily share folders and files within a unified Dash Stack. This eliminates the challenges that previously arose when employees were unfamiliar with a particular platform, such as struggling to navigate SharePoint or lacking access to Dropbox.
Dash tech support has also been great in resolving issues or bug fixes quickly. Having a great product is one thing - but means nothing if the support isn't there to back up the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only thing I dislike about Dash currently is that the Dash Assistant only seems to be part of the Browser Extension but not in the Desktop App on my Mac. Certainly not a showstopper but when things are not consistent it can lead to future problems and overlooked items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The integrations to multiple sources of content work really well. The ability to pull together those multiple sources into stacks of relevant content has some real utility. The generative capabilities seem very promising, I like the various templates and the ability to add multiple source content items. Dropbox's team has been excellent through the onboarding process.

The user experience is a little clunky to get comfortable with, what to click on and when isn't always intuitive and takes some getting used to but the more I use it the more seamless it seems. It's still very early so I understand why, but the lack of support for all file types when using the AI functions should be noted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Dropbox Dash helps me find information not just in Dropbox, but across other apps that I have connected to it. Can't remember if that comment about a project was in an email, Dropbox file, Slack message, something a client sent on Google Drive or Box... Dash can find it. Using natural language searches, you can make sense of things quickly. Stacks help you organize the files and links you need to use regularly, and share those with your colleagues, transmitting institutional knowledge easily. The Answers feature will become your new best friend when trying to analyze your own content. And lastly, the Assistant feature helps you write blog posts, emails, analyze multiple documents at once, and more. While some of these features may be available in ChatGPT, Notion, or other platforms, Dash provides a secured, walled garden letting you take the best features from many of those platforms and use them on top of your existing content safely and securely.

Not much - it really does stand out compared to CoPilot, ChatGPT, and other systems that seem riskier, or provide answers that tend to lean more towards AI-hallucinations than consistent, reliable content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is a mix of AI search, search of files directly from local storage and easy compiling of data. In addition, we can search through shared files from entire team. The best part is that it can along search from gmail. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is always a lingering issue of security of the data. I hope dropbox looks into it with extreme caution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
