Correct me if I'm wrong but this seems like a poorly messaged setting and an overreaction by users on X. Sounds like they will use a commercial AI when you use Dropbox AI to ask about a document.


In that case your organization account should make the decision on enablinng this capability, Dropbox should not have carte blanche to scan your content ahead of time.


the cost of indexing with an AI would be absurd. it's more likely a one off Clippy type service where it's only sending it to openAI when the user requests.

still should be optin universally, but it's unlikely they're wasting compute scanning before a user even wants the service.


Yes, specifically they use the OpenAI API to implement their alpha AI features.
