Dropbox Release Notes
New updates and improvements to Dropbox
August 2026
Review inherited permissions in Dropbox Protect
Dropbox Protect now shows whether permissions are direct or inherited, identifies where inherited access originates and updates the Action history to distinguish between permissions removed through a parent item and those that still require action. IT and security admins can identify the correct source of inherited access, understand why some permissions weren't removed and navigate directly to the parent item to complete remediation.
Remove external domain access in Dropbox Protect
Dropbox Protect now lets admins remove access for one or more external domains across selected files, folders or drives. IT and security admins can revoke access for vendor, partner or personal email domains across multiple items without updating permissions one file at a time.
Schedule policy enforcement in Dropbox Protect
Dropbox Protect now lets admins schedule a policy to begin enforcement on a future date. Admins can prepare policy rollouts in advance while ensuring alerts and auto-fixes begin only after the scheduled start date.
Keep table headers visible
You can now keep header rows and columns visible while scrolling through large tables in Dropbox Paper. This makes each row and column easier to identify without scrolling back and you can change the pin setting from the formatting toolbar.
Available on web and mobile web.
Manage Space content in bulk
You can now select multiple files and folders in DocSend Spaces to move, download or move them to Trash at once. Familiar keyboard shortcuts let you select all visible rows, choose a range, toggle individual items or clear your selection, so organising large Spaces takes fewer repeated steps.
Bulk actions are available on paid plans.
Keyboard shortcuts are available to all users.
Connect AI applications to DocSend with MCP
You can now connect DocSend to ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot or Codex CLI to analyse documents, review activity in Spaces and answer questions about document engagement without leaving your AI application. This helps you summarise content and understand visitor activity without manually moving files between tools. Available in open beta to Advanced Data Rooms users.
Discourage screenshots in DocSend Spaces
You can now add screenshot protection to new or existing Space links and groups, using Standard or Strict mode to make unauthorised screenshots, screen recordings and content extraction more difficult. This provides additional protection when sharing sensitive PDFs, DOCX files, JPEGs and PNGs, though it can’t prevent every screenshot, recording or photo. Available on Advanced and Advanced Data Rooms plans.
Work with Dropbox content in Cursor/Grok Bot
You can now connect Dropbox to Cursor to reference permitted Dropbox content, save Cursor-generated work to Dropbox and create shared links directly within your workflow. This helps you move from source content to saved and shareable work without manually copying files between products.
Available across all Dropbox plans.
July 2026
Manage internal domains in Protect
You can now review, add or remove the company domains that Dropbox Protect uses to classify owners, collaborators and shared content as internal or external. Keep the list current so Protect reports and policy workflows reflect your organisation accurately, including changes from acquisitions, subsidiaries or regional domains.
To access: Admin Console → Protect → Settings → Internal domains
Available to team admins with Protect access
Expanded Dropbox capabilities in ChatGPT, ChatGPT Work and Codex
Dropbox now supports more ways to take action on your content in OpenAI workflows. In addition to accessing, saving and sharing Dropbox content, you can now organise files and folders, generate file requests and execute multi-step workflows with Dropbox-created skills.
Available for all Dropbox accounts.
Request to join your company team
You can now see a clearer prompt to request access when a Dropbox team matches your work email domain. Join the team or skip the prompt and continue to the shared file or folder, so legitimate internal users can get the right access without blocking the content they came to view.
Build confidence in signed agreements with signature frames
Dropbox Sign now applies a “Digitally signed by:” signature frame around an eSignature immediately after it’s added to a document. The frame appears across all signature types, providing a clear visual indicator of a digitally signed agreement and giving reviewers greater confidence in the completed document.
Verify password before permanent deletions
You can now require admins to verify their password before permanently deleting content from Content Manager. You can apply the requirement to reduce the risk of accidental or unauthorised large-scale deletions while matching your organisation's security policies.
To access: Admin Console → Settings → Content → Storage → Protection of content deletion
June 2026
Manage storage alerts for team folders
Admins can set up alerts for storage thresholds on top-level team folders. You can choose who is notified when a folder reaches 80% and 100% of its limit, so you can clean up files or follow up with folder editors as the folder approaches or reaches its assigned limit.
To access: Admin Console → Content → select a top-level team folder → Set storage limit
Export team folder reports
Admins can export a CSV report of team folder paths, sizes, last modified dates and internal or external access. Use it to find storage-heavy folders, review external access and clean up stale or archived folders from one report.
To access: Content Manager or Storage Explorer → Export Team Folders Report
View storage across your team
Admins can see team storage grouped by content type in Storage Explorer, including team folders, member folders, shared folders, orphaned content, backups and Replay.
Use it to spot where quota is being used and open folder details or generate reports without checking each area separately.
To access: Admin Console → Storage Explorer
Export shared folder details
Admins can export a CSV report of shared folder details, including owner, size, last modified date and internal or external access.
Use it to find orphaned folders, review external access and clean up storage without checking folders one by one.
To access: Admin Console → Content → Export Shared Folders Report

Filter higher risk sharing activity in Dropbox Protect
Dropbox Protect now includes filters for domain, domain owner and shared drive. Admins can narrow investigation results to specific domains, owners or storage locations when reviewing risky sharing activity and policy violations. Find out more.
Build more flexible, reliable signing workflows with API updates
Dropbox Sign now includes new API capabilities and SDK improvements for developers building signing workflows. Set advanced signature details at the request level, access more account configuration details through the AccountResponse object and build with improved .NET and Ruby SDK reliability.
April 2026
Sign in with passkeys on mobile
You can now log in to Dropbox on mobile using passkeys in addition to a password or separate 2FA options. This speeds up sign-in and reduces friction so you can access your account more securely without extra steps.
Find similar images in Dash for Dropbox

March 2026
Admins set and manage user storage limits
Admins can now set customised storage limits in Settings and view or update each user’s limit directly from the Members tab. This gives admins centralised control and visibility so you can enforce usage policies and manage storage more efficiently.
Explore team storage in admin console
Admins can now visualise and drill into your team’s full folder structure in the Admin Console to see where storage is being used without joining folders. This gives admins complete visibility into storage usage so you can identify large files and manage space without manual work or permission changes.
Review and request team storage
Admins can now see team storage usage in more places, buy additional storage as an admin or request more storage as a team member when your team is running low from Admin Dashboard. This gives teams clearer visibility and next steps so admins can act sooner and members can flag storage issues before work is disrupted.
Preview, save and share work from ChatGPT
With the Dropbox app in ChatGPT, you can easily access and preview your Dropbox files, save AI-generated content directly to Dropbox and share links to your work without leaving ChatGPT.
Create team from shared folder
You can now create a team space directly from an existing shared folder with pre-populated invites and file transfer options. This helps you start collaborating faster with existing collaborators without rebuilding your setup. Find out more
Admins allow automatic team approvals
Admins can now enable anyone in their company domain to join your team automatically without additional admin approval when licences are available here under “request to join the team”. This removes manual approval bottlenecks so teams can grow faster with people who already work together. Find out more
January 2026
View and manage billing from a redesigned Admin console

To access: Go to the Admin console, then open Billing.
Enhancement to the team storage breakdown chart
Admins can now see inactive users in the team member storage chart. This update makes it easier to see when deleted or suspended users are using significant file storage space, which can count towards the team’s overall quota.

Manage deleted and restored files
Admins can now view and manage files deleted by team members from a single, centralised deleted files page, with improved visibility and filtering.
