This chapter traces the development of Dropbox's solutions from file syncing to AI-powered tools like Dropbox Dash, addressing the challenges of digital clutter and the need for efficient content organization. It explores the concept of a universal container for information, the role of intelligence in organizing data, and the evolution of file systems towards cloud-based solutions.

Today I’m talking with Dropbox CEO Drew Houston about those big picture ideas — and why he thinks generative AI really will be transformative for everyone eventually, even if it isn’t yet now.
