2 years agoLet Dropbox AI for file previews do the work you don’t want to
There are a few tasks that no one wants to do. Whether it’s doing the never-ending pile of dishes, and tackling the eternal struggle of folding laundry, the joy of scrubbing the oven or mowing the lawn under the scorching sun.
Well, one task that no one wants to do is to trawl through files and documents looking for answers, especially when you don’t want to open all of those files. Find out how you can use Dropbox AI on file previews to help you to sort and search!
Quickly summarize content and get answers with Dropbox AI
File previews is on of the most popular functions, and now we are applying AI to file previews as part of a new offering called Dropbox AI. Let AI understand and summarize your documents, and serve you the right results when you search, all from the preview stage. Learn more about that here:
- Quickly understand large documents or videos without parsing through the entire file. With the click of a button, you can summarize your content, like contracts and meeting recordings, into a concise explanation.
- Get the information you need without the hassle of manually searching through large files. Simply ask a question and get a response within seconds.
And this is just the beginning of Dropbox AI—soon you’ll be able to use Dropbox AI on your folders or your entire Dropbox account.
Dropbox AI for file previews is currently in alpha. As of today, it will be available in the U.S. to all Dropbox Pro customers and start rolling out to select Dropbox Teams to test. And don’t worry, the Dropbox AI feature is powered by OpenAI. When you use Dropbox AI to ask questions or summarise files, data from those files is shared with OpenAI. Dropbox only shares the files you use Dropbox AI with. Your files and the questions you ask won't be used to train OpenAI's language models. By using the feature, you're granting Dropbox permission to use this feature and OpenAI on your selected files.
