The context layer for AI: Bringing trusted Dropbox content into OpenAI workflows

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.
