How I Use Dropbox and Dash to Make My Day Easier
As your friendly neighbourhood Community Team member, my daily workflow centers on creating engaging content (hopefully), collaborating across multiple teams within Dropbox, and overall being in the loop on how we can make this community better for you all. Dropbox and Dash are essential tools that make all of this possible, and they keeps my chaotic brain in check! Dropbox and Dash, especially the start page are indispensable in my daily workflow now. I had to borrow an image frmo the Dash page because my own home page is full of secrets, so thanks to Bridget for the sample photo! With Dash, I can work smarter, stay organized, and get my work done faster. If you’re interested in checking out more about Dash, you can learn all about it here, or keep reading about a few features I love! Creating Content with Ease My favourite part of my job is writing stuff for you all to read (I hope you guys like it a little bit too) but the stage fright a blank doc gives me never gets old, so I LOVE writing in Dash, I can dump in all my ideas, inspiration and organise my thoughts, and then Dash helps me rework the whole thing. For example, I used it on this piece to organise the format, but the rest is all me. I used to fear the robots but I am a convert. I also love to use it to summarise project notes to explain to those outside the team, and to take the pain out of reporting. Collaborating on Content When crafting content for our community, whether posted by myself, the wider team or even some of the developers, having quick access to all my drafts, research, and reference materials is crucial. Dropbox serves as my centralized hub where everything is easy to find. Using Dropbox Paper, I collaborate in real-time with colleagues—brainstorming ideas, editing drafts, and gathering feedback. With some of our teams being separated by an ocean and a few timezones, we keep it all moving on Paper. I will admit, my document names are TERRIBLE at times, so instead of searching and finding nothing, or the wrong version or draft I abandoned when the inspiration disappeared, Dash makes it so much easier to find the right file. I love that even before I search, there are some suggested docs to pick back up on. Stacks of Saved Time Dash Stacks are like my personal assistant. Instead of digging through folders or searches. I can group all related files, links, and documents into one neat stack. This means I’m in the loop with the rest of the team and we always have quick access to the right materials without the usual hassle. Plus, stacks update in real-time whenever someone adds new content, so we all stay on the same page effortlessly. And, if I’m being honest, they make it easy to be lazy when you’re multi-tasking, and then when you’re focussed you have all your materials. I’d love to know what you think, are you using Dash yet?

Wow how are we 3 months into 2025 already? Here (in Ireland), March brought longer days, the first hints of spring and of course, St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. While the weather might still be unpredictable, one minute sunshine, the next a sudden downpour, one thing that remains constant is the kindness and support within our Community. This month, we are especially excited as we introduce our very first Community Member of the Month for 2025! And that honour goes to wetenhr Despite only joining last month, wetenhr has already embraced the true spirit of the Community. A perfect example of this was when they returned to a thread to update another user who had the same issue, letting them know that while it might take some time depending on their device, it worked for them. Their genuine enthusiasm and helpful nature embody what makes this Community so special, and we are incredibly grateful for all the support they have provided . By providing a solution on the Community, they have not only helped others but demonstrated their passion for Dropbox. Congratulations, wetenhr thank you for making our Community a better place. We have got a special surprise just for you! Simply reply to this message and we will make sure your token of appreciation is on its way to you ASAP.
