Dropbox Release Notes

Bringing trusted content into AI workflows is already becoming part of how work gets done. As customers increasingly connect Dropbox with the AI tools they use every day, usage across our partner AI integrations has grown more than 200% in the past month alone, with people regularly saving AI-generated content back to Dropbox, sharing files with teammates, and organizing work from their AI conversations.

Those behaviors reinforce what we're hearing from customers. They aren't looking for another place to work. They want AI to fit into the tools and content they already trust. That's why we're continuing to invest in integrations with leading AI platforms to help customers deeply embed Dropbox into their workflows and move from isolated AI conversations to work that's easier to share, organize, and build on.

Today, we're building on that momentum with new Dropbox capabilities across OpenAI products, including new experiences in their recently announced ChatGPT Work, as well as ChatGPT and ChatGPT Codex. Dropbox customers can now use new tools to organize files and folders, create shareable links, generate file requests and execute multi-step workflows with these capabilities as official Dropbox-created skills, all directly within the OpenAI products they use most.

"AI is most useful when it has the right context," said Vibhor Chhabra, Product Lead for ChatGPT Ecosystem, OpenAI. "The Dropbox plugin helps customers combine ChatGPT's intelligence with the content they already have in Dropbox so they can spend more time on high-impact work.”

AI workflows grounded in trusted content

As organizations bring AI into more of their everyday work, IT administrators need confidence employees are working from approved content instead of creating disconnected company information. Because ChatGPT is integrated with the Dropbox content employees already have permission to access, organizations can expand AI adoption while keeping work secure through their existing permissions, administrative controls, and governance.

• Deploy AI securely: Imagine an IT administrator rolling out ChatGPT. They can give teams access to the Dropbox content they already have permission to use. Employees can find company-trusted content, generate summaries, and save AI-generated work back to Dropbox, while IT maintains permissions, governance, and administrative controls.

• Launch campaigns faster: Now take a product marketing manager preparing for a major launch or customer event. Instead of searching across folders for previous launch plans, messaging documents, executive briefing materials, and campaign assets, they can quickly find the right content, generate a summary, and save that work back to Dropbox so the team can review and build on it.

• Keep projects moving: The same principle applies in technical, document-heavy industries. Instead of manually gathering documentation to understand project history, a construction company preparing for a big build can work directly from the materials already stored in Dropbox. They can quickly find the latest specifications, review documentation from previous phases, understand how decisions were made, generate summaries for subcontractors, and plan next steps, all grounded in the trusted project information the broader team already relies on.

From AI conversations to connected work

Because Dropbox is the trusted system for more than 700 million registered users and organizations, it provides the secure, portable context that powers AI across tools and models. As more work starts in AI, Dropbox helps ensure the outputs behind that work remain organized, shareable, and connected to the teams that need them long after each conversation ends.

To get started, connect the Dropbox plugin and start bringing your content into your AI workflows.

Dropbox connector for Claude

AI has fundamentally changed how we create, but it has also introduced a new kind of fragmentation. As work bounces between isolated AI chat windows, shared folders, and endless collaboration apps, critical context gets lost in the gaps.

That challenge becomes especially acute for teams already relying on Dropbox to coordinate creative production, review and approve content, share large files, and keep complex projects moving across internal teams and external partners. While AI tools are becoming a bigger part of how work gets done, it’s often harder than it should be to connect these tools to the content and apps that teams use to collaborate each day. What’s missing is context.

To help close the gap between teams, their content, and the AI they use, today we’re introducing three new Dropbox integrations across Claude’s portfolio: the Dropbox Connector for Claude, the Dropbox Plugin for Claude Cowork, and the Dropbox Plugin for Claude Code. These integrations will make it easier for our more than 700 million users to bring their existing content and workflows into some of today’s most popular AI experiences.

As a central home for content and collaboration, Dropbox gives AI tools—like Claude’s—the right context for your work. By bringing your teams’ files, feedback, and workflows into your conversations, work stays grounded in trusted content and governed by the same permissions teams already rely on, making the AI you already use even more useful. And because content, feedback, and project history live across the tools teams use every day, Dropbox provides a consistent source of context that can travel with you into Claude or any AI tool you choose.

With these integrations, customers can extend their workflows into AI tools in a way that feels useful, practical, and true to how work already gets done without losing the context, coordination, and collaboration that make work possible.

Individuals and teams can now use the Dropbox connector for Claude to preview, find, search, and share content from Dropbox, helping ground Claude’s responses in the files and information they already rely on. Quickly find the right docs for a campaign, client project, or review meeting; preview the most relevant materials before sharing; and save new, AI-generated content back to Dropbox. We’re making it easier for you to leverage the content and workflows you already rely on, without switching platforms, so you can make the most of your time.

Consider an architecture firm that often drafts updates for stakeholders, summarizes client feedback, and tracks project progress. They connect Dropbox to Claude, giving it access to the firm’s design briefs, drawings, renderings, client feedback, and meeting notes. Instead of manually digging through disparate folders, the firm can prompt Claude to analyze design briefs and client feedback instantly. Once Claude drafts the stakeholder update, users can save it back to Dropbox—preserving the version history and keeping the entire team aligned.

The firm can then save that output back to Dropbox, where it can be shared, reviewed, and revised—and then made available again in Claude as needed. It means work doesn’t just stay in chat, but becomes part of a cycle of collaboration involving the firm’s existing tools.

Dropbox plugin for Claude Cowork

For teams that want to do more with their work than search or summarize, the Dropbox plugin for Claude Cowork can help turn ideas into action. Have Cowork sort through client feedback, send deliverables to external partners, or create entirely new assets based on existing Dropbox content—all on its own. You can prompt it to organize your files and folders, generate links for secure sharing, and draft text-based files in formats such as CSV, markdown, HTML, and JavaScript. And when Cowork is finished, it can save the results back to Dropbox for immediate collaboration.

A marketing agency preparing for a campaign review with a client might point Cowork at a Dropbox folder containing the campaign brief, creative assets, copy drafts, client feedback, and final deliverables. Instead of manually sorting through files to understand project status, the team can have Cowork organize materials, surface relevant feedback, and prepare a client-ready recap. Once the review is complete, they can save outputs back to Dropbox and share deliverables directly from Cowork.

Dropbox plugin for Claude Code

With the Dropbox plugin for Claude Code, developers can now use Dropbox files, documentation, and supporting materials as context while generating, updating, or reasoning through code and technical work. This means less time switching between tools trying to find what you need to get work done, or sharing updates and outputs with your team. Organize your project folder into specs, meeting notes, and assets, or create a decision log from a conversation and save it to Dropbox in markdown, all from where you’re already building.

A developer can bring project files—including documentation, technical specs, and supporting materials—from Dropbox into Claude Code as context for technical work. Instead of searching across multiple systems to understand requirements or project history, they can engage directly with the team’s existing documentation to answer questions, review decisions, and generate outputs grounded in trusted project content. Throughout the day, they can save decision logs back to Dropbox and share implementation notes with teammates.

Bring the power of your content to AI

AI is only as smart as the context you give it. By anchoring Claude in Dropbox, we're ensuring your AI-driven workflows are secure, accurate, and deeply integrated into the tools your team already uses every day.

Teams today use lots of tools to collaborate, create content, and get work done. But when they try to use those tools separately, it can take a lot of time and unnecessary effort to supply the right context—let alone bring that work back into Dropbox and share it with collaborators.

Millions of people and hundreds of thousands of teams trust Dropbox as a place to store, organize, and share their work. By streamlining that work into ChatGPT, it becomes easier to bring the right context into your conversations and get answers that are more relevant, useful, and actionable.

To keep teams moving quickly, today we’re introducing three new Dropbox apps in ChatGPT: a Dropbox app, a Dropbox Dash app, and a Reclaim AI calendar app. Together, these apps make it easier to access your work, bring the right context into your AI conversations, and complete tasks directly in ChatGPT.

Whether you’re working with files, searching for answers across your tools, or coordinating time on your calendar, these three new apps help you move work forward without interrupting your flow.

Dropbox app in ChatGPT

With the Dropbox app in ChatGPT, you can easily access and preview your Dropbox files, save AI-generated content directly to Dropbox, and share links to your work without leaving ChatGPT. That means no more manually uploading files or copying and pasting between documents.

ChatGPT can even reference relevant files already stored in your Dropbox account to help generate drafts and answer questions, so you always have the context you need without switching tools. And because your Dropbox sharing permissions and access controls stay the same whether your work starts or ends in ChatGPT, you can trust that whatever you store in Dropbox will remain secure.

The Dropbox app in ChatGPT is available globally and can be used by Dropbox customers on any plan.

Dropbox Dash app in ChatGPT

Dropbox Dash already brings content from more than 30 workplace apps into one, secure place for your company knowledge. But with the Dropbox Dash app in ChatGPT, you can also bring that knowledge directly into your conversations in ChatGPT.

Now, when you ask a question in ChatGPT, it can quickly surface the right answer using context from across your connected work apps, with results that are more personalized to you. That’s because Dash has context about you, your content, and your team.

With this richer context, the Dropbox Dash app in ChatGPT helps users surface more helpful, relevant, and actionable answers without leaving your current chat. And because Dash, like Dropbox, respects existing permissions and access controls, your connected content is always secure.

The Dropbox Dash app in ChatGPT will be available in the coming weeks for existing Dash customers. New users can try a free 30-day trial.

Reclaim AI calendar app in ChatGPT

The Reclaim AI calendar app in ChatGPT makes it even easier to plan, manage, and optimize your calendar in Google Calendar or Microsoft Outlook. Instead of the back-and-forth of manual scheduling, now you can just use the Reclaim AI calendar app in ChatGPT for help. You can add events, find time for meetings, resolve conflicts, analyze your productivity, search contacts, and even understand what your day looks like—all within your existing conversation.

The Reclaim AI calendar app in ChatGPT is available globally in English to customers who are using the latest version of the Reclaim AI calendar system.

Within a Stack, teams can browse Dropbox folders with subfolder navigation, add entire folders or select specific files, upload files and folders directly from their desktop, and drag and drop content from their desktop into the add interface. Users can also filter by media or connector type and quickly insert links when adding content to a Stack, making it faster to find and organize the right content, helping to reduce friction in everyday workflows.
