Dropbox Dash | What you need to know
Thank you for testing the Dropbox Dash beta and for joining this group. Any feedback you can share with us will be valuable to us as we continue to work on this experience. Please note: Dropbox early releases are subject to additional terms and conditions. This post will outline some of the changes you can expect to see in this beta release and what we are hoping to test. What to expect from the Dropbox Dash beta experience The Dropbox Dash beta experience is currently available to users who choose to opt-in. Dash connects with all your work tools including: Google Workspace, Microsoft Outlook, Salesforce, Notion and many more. You’ll have instant access to all the info you need to do your best work. With Dash, one search bar is all it takes to find exactly what you’re looking for. You can use Dropbox Dash by downloading the beta here. Dash is available as a desktop app and as a web browser plugin. Testing Goals We are testing a number of different things as part of this beta experience, but there are three key areas we want to focus on: Search: How easily users are able to find their content through the Dash search functionality, and how well the search works across various apps. Stacks: We want to evaluate how stacks are working for users to organise their links and content, along with any changes that could be made to improve the experience. Dash Starting Page: Similar to stacks, we want to determine how the dash starting page is assisting users, and providing them with useful recommendations of what they are working on next. What’s next We truly appreciate you testing this beta, and if you have support questions or general feedback on how we can improve this experience, let us know by creating a topic here. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.13KViews4likes14CommentsIs adding multiple accounts of the same type (Gmail/Dropbox/Calendar) in Dash possible?
I can't find a way to add multiple Gmail or multiple Dropbox accounts in Dash. Once one account of a type is connected, the only option I see for this account family is disconnected. Is this expected? If so, is an improvement planned? One of the use cases helpful for me would be search across multiple accounts.Solved12KViews7likes14CommentsUnable to find/install the app
I was unable to figure out how to get the latest windows app. I followed the steps in the tool to download it but it was only encouraging me to download the chrome extension, which I already have. Here is a loom of my issue.https://www.loom.com/share/dc775f3d5fbf4bacb7a0d1a24b8d7a4c?sid=17da5b11-a963-41e9-9d4c-d687c7c64fc9 I was able to find my original email inviting me to install the app and the link there still worked - but others may run into this.Solved11KViews0likes19CommentsFeedback in regards to Dropbox Dash.
I just logged back into Dropbox after oh so long, since I was pestered to try the Beta for "Dropbox Dash". Long story short, if you get an email to join, or join the waitlist, don't bother. It's useless. Nothing that other search engines in different areas can't do better, and very limited functionality. Also, I love how you have to pay this company money to be able to communicate with them. I wanted to share some feedback about their "Dash" product and maybe some UX improvements, etc. But there's no way to even establish a dialogue. So it's this "Community Forum" for now. Stay tuned, as I will (and I encourage you all to also) post all things about the new service. Good and Bad. Bugs, UX dark patterns, UI ugliness, you know, all good things. That's all for now. Ciao WITSolved7.6KViews1like8CommentsHas anyone used "Ask Dash" yet in Dropbox Dash?
I've been using the beta version of Dropbox Dash:https://blog.dropbox.com/topics/product/introducing-AI-powered-tools However, I do not have the "Ask Dash" feature enabled, currently it's just a simple keyword matching search engine over my filenames. Has anyone managed to get hold of this?Solved6.1KViews0likes4CommentsLocal Files Search
DASH will not perform LOCAL FILES SEARCH on my Windows 11 system. And before I turn it loose on my various web accounts, I need to be sure it performs reasonably well on my LOCAL FILES. But instead, when I tell it to search local files and enter a search word, DASH just tells me "No Accounts Connected." This is a deal breaker. Secondarily, when I tried to open a ticket about this, the ticket page would let me enter my comments/description, but when I clicked SUBMIT nothing would happen... no error message, no "ticket submitted" message, NOTHING. Sorry, not impressed yet. A non-performing app in my case. 😞Solved4.7KViews2likes3CommentsDash local files support
I really wanted to use Dash for local files support. And it totally disappeared. I would even further like it to be able to search also for Google Drive files as they appear on the local storage (even if they are online only). I really prefer to work with all files from local storage.4.4KViews2likes1CommentDash Chrome Extension vs W10 app
Apparently Dash Beta is available as a Chrome browser extension and a W10 app. I have both installed. Is that necessary? Seems a bit of over kill. Can I sensibly get rid of the Chrome exention? Got enough of those already. Still learning exactly what Dash is and does. Thanks in advance.Solved4.4KViews0likes1CommentFuture Intergrations - Dropbox Dash
Do you anticipate integrations that would include the ability to add Click-Up, What's App, WeChat, Slack, and multiple Gmail & G-Drive accounts in future updates for Dropbox Dash? I do see the logos for a few of the above-mentioned on the Dropbox Dash page, but I did not see those options when linking my accounts. I'm excited to experiment with DP Dash features and hope that this might be a one-stop solution to centralize my many platforms into one space. I know it's new & in BETA still, but ultimately it's going to be hard to use if I am limited to searching only one linked Gmail & G-Drive.3.9KViews0likes0Comments
