If you’ve ever used any of Dropbox’s artificial intelligence tools, it may have resulted in some of your documents and files being shared with OpenAI.
One of these AI tools is Dropbox’s chatbot, which collaborated with OpeenAI to provide chatbot services like summarizing or answering queries about your files. However, this arrangement has raised some concerns for customers.
Any customers that have used the AI tools initiate their documents to pass through and be stored on OpenAi’s servers for up to 30 days. By default, the “third-party AI” toggle is enabled in account settings, meaning users must disable this toggle to prevent their files from being sent to OpenAI when using any of these related features.
To disable the use of third-party AI in Dropbox settings and prevent your data from being sent outside the platform, follow these steps:
Dropbox’s third-party AI data sharing applies only to users who opt for Dropbox’s AI features, available through different paid plans or its Early Access program. According to Dropbox, only content relevant to explicit requests or commands is shared with third-party AI partners. However, even if users opt out, files shared with others using Dropbox AI could still be sent to OpenAI servers.
