Hi tosha 187,
Thank you for reaching out today with your questions. To begin, Dropbox search has the ability to search files based on a keyword, even if that isn't in the filename or metadata. This is done when you upload photos as content is identified in the image, but this information is only used to improve retrieval of files in your account, and no-one else's. This is detailed in our image search Help Center article. There is a more in-depth discussion of how image search works here, and goes through the machine learning that powers it.
Under the Dropbox AI Principles, customers will have full control of their data and we will not use customer data to train AI models without their consent. Your data is, and has always been, completely within your control.
One thing to note, is that our AI team is currently developing Dropbox AI in a file preview. This tool summarises text-based, audio or video files and allows Dropbox AI to answer questions about these files. This is powered by OpenAI and files previewed under this are shared with OpenAI. These files will not be used to train OpenAI's models and only files you choose to send will be shared with them. This feature is currently in Alpha, and is not widely available as of yet.
I hope I've been able to answer all of your questions, and if you have any other concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Regards,
Dropbox Community Team
