Hi Dropbox community! I'm a product manager at Dropbox working on the search experience on dropbox.com. Paid users already have access to advanced search features like full-text search, OCR (searching for text within images), full-text search, and image search (searching for objects within images). However, this can often return a lot of results leading to a poor experience having to wade through and find exactly what you're looking for. So, we're happy to announce that we're adding a few new operators to help you retrieve your files/folders more quickly: title:(new lead) => See results with only the specific words in title of the file title:"new lead" => See results with exact phrase match in title of the file. Note that quotes only work with title searches and can't be used to match on content type:image => Filter results by a certain types like image, video, document, spreadsheet, etc. type:jpg => Filter results by a certain types like file extension like jpg, png, docx, etc. before:2022-01-01 => Allows you to see all content before a certain date. Uses YYYY-MM-DD format. after:2022-01-01 => Allows you to see all content after a certain date. Uses YYYY-MM-DD format. lead AND new => AND operators will show results that contain both words. lead OR new => OR operators will show results that contain either words. To use these operators, login to Dropbox.com, click on the searchbox at the top, and start typing your query. You can learn more about our operators on our help center article here: https://help.dropbox.com/view-edit/search Note that there are some limitations: - This feature is Web only (for now) - Searches may return inaccurate results for contents of a file, certain images, and Paper docs if you're using the old release of Dropbox Paper. - Quotes will only work on file titles, not matches on content (for now) Try it out and let us know what you think! Thanks for your patience as we ship new features to improve your overall Dropbox experience!

You might have already spoken to some of the team at Dropbox who build Dropbox here on the Community forums, and we are so happy to be able to update you when they have some updates to share! The team have been busy and here are some updates on end-to-end encryption (which we know youâve been looking forward to), Replay, integrations, Dash and more. Keep reading and donât forget to let us know what you think! Advanced data protection features add extra layers of security to confidential content with seamless end-to-end encryption and advanced key management If youâve been using the Dropbox Community for any length of time, you might have seen requests for end-to-end encryption and we have excellent news! It is here! New advanced data protection features from Dropbox provide businesses with sole control over how their data is secured. End-to-end encryption and advanced key management make it easy to protect sensitive and confidential files in Dropbox team folders. This means that no oneâincluding Dropboxâcan gain access to their files. Activating end-to-end encryption is as simple as creating a shared team folder and selecting the new encrypted folder option, requiring no technical expertise from the admin or account owner. Files are encrypted when added to the folder and decrypted when a team member is added to the encrypted folder. Only users who have been invited to an encrypted folder can access the files stored within it. Team members quickly get access by invitation to the shared team folder, similar to sharing a regular Dropbox folder. Files are end-to-end encrypted on the team memberâs device before they are securely synced with Dropbox servers. No oneâincluding Dropboxâcan decrypt the file or access your private key. With advanced key management, teams can set up a unique encryption key as an added layer of security to ensure only members of their organization can access Dropbox files and protect against threats. Keys are automatically rotated every 12 months, and admins can rotate or revoke the key as needed. Dropbox Trust Center also launched today to streamline and accelerate risk assessments of Dropbox products with self-serve, anytime access to our security, reliability, privacy, and compliance information. Prospective and existing customers can streamline internal reviews, audits and risk assessment processes to get value from Dropbox products faster. We know youâve been asking, so if you want to dive deeper into the security benefits of Dropbox, you can check out https://www.dropbox.com/security. Fast-track video, image, and audio reviews with new features in Dropbox Replay You already know we are Replayâs biggest fans - and if youâre a fan too, join our Replay group! If you want to learn more about Replay, weâve got you too - Replay enables teams to easily share and collaborate on projects from anywhere, including with real-time live reviews and transcriptionsâall in one place. With todayâs announcement, new functionality helps teams accelerate the feedback process and finish projects faster: Dynamic watermarking: Keep proprietary content protected and prevent unauthorized use by placing watermarks on work shared with collaborators. Watermarks include recipient email, IP address, date, and time of when the file is opened. Added rich media support: Use Replay to review and approve more types of rich media including PDF and PSD files. Custom branding: Configure custom images, banners, logos, and colors within Replay project workspaces. Avid integration: Integration with Avid Pro Tools enables teams to review and approve audio files directly within the Avid platform.

With this update, you can also use our plugin extension for Copilot for Microsoft 365 to answer questions and generate summaries. Today, we're building on this with even more Microsoft integrations designed to simplify work for teams. Real-Time Co-Authoring (beta): One of Dropboxâs most-requested features ever, Co-Authoring allows multiple team members to collaboratively edit Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files from desktop, web, and mobile, natively within Dropbox.

Enhancements to the Upload Experience on dropbox.com Hi! Iâm Alice and my team and I have been hard at work behind the scenes to improve your uploading experience on our website, and we're thrilled to unveil some updates! Before we dive into the details, we want to give a big shoutout to all of you who shared your thoughts and experiences with us. We believe in the power of community, and it was through talking directly with you guys and reading your concerns on this forum that we were able to identify your biggest pain points. So, a heartfelt thank you for your invaluable feedback and insights! One of the major concerns we heard from many of you was the frustrating issue of your computers going to sleep during uploads, causing interruptions and delays. We understood the annoyance and inconvenience this caused (we heard that some of you would set a timer just to remind yourself to jiggle your laptop mouse!) We're thrilled to announce that we now automatically prevent your computers from dozing off during the upload process on major desktop browsers. We also wanted to address those pesky transient errors, like sudden network disconnections, which used to immediately fail your upload. We knew how frustrating it was to see your progress bar reset after a momentary hiccup. As a result, we introduced auto-retries! Our system now detects those transient errors and automatically retries the upload process, giving it multiple chances to succeed. Now if your laptop disconnects from the internet while youâre away making a strong cup of coffee, Dropbox will automatically restart your upload for you once you reconnect. In addition, our engineers also dived into our codebase to really analyze what was causing failed uploads and fixed a variety of issues at their source. However, it is impossible to prevent all uploads from failing, so in the rare occasion that an upload does fail, we wanted to give you more control. That's why we've added a âretryâ button that lets you retry a failed upload with just one click instead of needing to take multiple steps to relocate and restart the failed files. Last but not least, we know how frustrating it is when itâs not clear whether your upload is stuck, so we added a new mbs uploaded indicator that will give you confidence that your upload is progressing as expected. We hope you are as thrilled as we are about all these updates and hang on tight because more improvements are coming! Keep talking to us and letting us know how we can improve your Dropbox experience - your painful stories (for example about spending a week uploading a large number of files over unreliable internet!) have been the driving force behind these enhancements. Weâre listening! Happy uploading, folks!1.6KViews5likes1CommentIntroducing:: Spaces Icon to dropbox.com
