Product Updates

Hi all, below are the latest and greatest Dash updates for October 2025. You can find the full release notes here, or review a summary below: New Stacks experience for organizing & sharing content: The revamped Stacks workspace now offers: visual, customizable workspaces with AI-generated titles, sections, descriptions and summaries; grid and list views; inline previews; commenting; embedded AI chat; and simplified sharing (for example: Dropbox content in a Stack is automatically viewable by recipients, no matter where it lives).   💡 The redesigned Stacks experience and easier sharing make it easier for teams to organize, share, and act together.  Semantic image search: We now support natural-language image search. Describe what you’re looking for and Dash will search images by meaning, not just by filename or tags (e.g., “team brainstorming whiteboard photo from Q3”).   💡 This will surface visual content faster and more intuitively.  Full support for large text documents in chat: Dash Chat now supports the full text extracted from long documents. Think of contracts, logs, reports, you name it. 💡 This change makes summaries and responses more complete, accurate, and relevant across all supported connectors.  Dash MCP server: We’re introducing a local Dash MCP (Metadata and Context Platform) server so that Dash’s AI-powered search and context can be brought into MCP-compatible clients like Claude and Cursor. 💡 This means you can surface insights and answers without switching tabs or losing focus.  Desktop dual-mode: Dash on desktop now supports two modes — a lightweight launcher (Cmd + E on Mac / Ctrl + E on Windows) for quick search and actions, and a persistent full-app view (Cmd + Shift + E or Ctrl + Shift + E) that stays open while you work. 💡 This is designed to give you more flexibility to stay productive and keep Dash accessible without interrupting your workflow.  Dash built into Dropbox: Key Dash features like AI multimedia search, contextual chat, and Stacks are now integrated into Dropbox itself. Dropbox users will now benefit from faster search, clearer answers with context, and better organization, without having to switch between products. 💡 Embedding Dash within Dropbox and simplifying team onboarding means more people can benefit from Dash’s capabilities sooner. Rolling out gradually to select teams. Teams of all sizes can get started faster: We’ve streamlined the setup for teams of all sizes. Dash is now easier to deploy and connect to the tools you already use (such as Slack, Microsoft 365, Notion, Canva). 💡 This means faster onboarding, less friction! Now available to select U.S. teams and rolling out more broadly.  As always, if you have questions about these updates, post them in the comments below and we’ll make sure to get you an update.

Protect and control reports help identify exposure and stale access risks: Admins can now access overview and stale access reports in Protect and control to monitor how company content is shared and maintained over time, strengthening security and reducing unwanted exposure. The overview tab offers a snapshot of internally owned and shared content, while the stale access tab surfaces files that haven’t been updated in years, making it easier to spot and clean up outdated access. Learn more here. More precise filters in Protect and control: Users can now include or exclude specific attributes—like keyword, app, or owner—when filtering content in the Protect and control item table. These filters make it easier to narrow results or remove unwanted data, giving admins more control when investigating access or cleaning up large datasets. Learn more here. Turn open browser tabs into stacks: Quickly convert your current browsing session into a stack with one click—making it easy to capture research, project references, or scattered tabs into a single, organized space. Available on Chrome and Edge browsers. Learn more here. Push notifications now available, starting with shared stacks: Dash now sends push notifications through the browser extension—starting with alerts when a stack is shared with a user. Notifications respect system preferences like Do Not Disturb and can be managed or unsubscribed from within stack settings, helping teams stay up to date without disrupting their workflow.
