Availability

Licensing
Dropbox offers Dash through supported plans and organisational offerings. A single universal licensing condition covering every Dash AI search capability was not established from the public evidence reviewed.
External model or provider
Dropbox documents the use of AI technologies and third-party AI providers in connection with some AI functionality. A single external model or provider universally used for this specific Dash search capability was not established from the public evidence reviewed.
Limitations and uncertainty
Search results and generated answers depend on the applications connected to Dash, indexed content and the user's underlying access. The public evidence reviewed does not establish that Dash can search every workplace application or independently perform consequential actions in connected systems.
