This article describes a beta feature available to all customers using Dropbox Dash. The company directory feature in Dash is subject to additional terms.


The company directory feature in Dash allows users to discover and view people profiles and team pages across their organization. Once an admin connects the company's company HR software, profile information and team structures become available, along with updated navigation and search functionality.

Connect your company directory to Dash (admins only)

To enable your company directory in Dash, an admin must connect it. Workday is currently the only supported company directory. 

To connect your company directory:

  1. Go to the Admin console in Dash.
  2. Click the Connectors tab.
  3. Select Workday from the list.
  4. Follow the prompts to authorize the connection.

Note: Once connected, people data will automatically sync to Dash. You may need to wait a few minutes for all profiles to populate.

What changes after connecting your company directory

When the connection with your company directory is active:

  • A People section appears in the left sidebar.
  • All people names across Dash become clickable and link to their profile.
  • People can be found using the Dash search bar.
     

How to view and edit your profile

To view your own profile:

  1. Click your avatar in the bottom-left corner of Dash.
  2. Select View profile.
     

To update your profile:

  1. On your profile page, click Edit in the top-right.
  2. Update the following:
    • Profile photo
    • About me

You can also choose whether to show a detailed location, your birthday, or an out of office notification on your profile.

Note: All other profile fields (like job title, location, and manager) are synced from your company directory and can’t be edited directly in Dash.

How to search for people and teams

Once your company directory is connected, you can search for anyone in your organization using the Dash search bar.
 

You can search by:

  • Full name
  • Email
  • Display handle
