The Dash Answers feature is powered by OpenAI. When you use Dash Answers in Dropbox Dash to ask questions, those queries are sent to OpenAI. Dropbox only sends the files you use Dash Answers with. Your files and the questions you ask won’t be used to train OpenAI’s language models. The contents of your files are only used to service your request. By using the feature, you’re granting Dropbox permission to use this feature and OpenAI on your selected files.
