      It’s not in any of the articles, but in dropbox forums:

      The Third-Party AI features are not available to everyone yet. The features are in alpha and are only available to customers on Dropbox Professional, Essentials, Business, Business Plus, and some customers on Dropbox Standard and Advanced.

      If you’re on a Basic, Plus or Family account, or you’re part of one of the other groups that don’t yet have access, the Third-Party AI features won’t be available to you.

        Cool, so we have to just keep thinking about it and checking in to turn it off. Great way to combat a wave of people opting out.

          By the time it appears, it will have been “on” for some nonzero duration before you switch it off, so I guess they could already have irreversibly vacuumed up your existing data…

        Yikes.

        Prayers to all the companies using Dropbox as cloud storage.

        Your intellectual property and private docs is now given to AI! Haha y’all are so fucked!

      Pinned comment on original article says:

      Didn’t see it mentioned in the article, but per the linked FAQ it says the alpha AI applies to:

      In countries with the preferred language set to English.

      Excluding Canada, the UK (United Kingdom), and countries within the EEA (European Economic Area).

        Hmm. I’m in the US. But I maybe I didn’t tell Dropbox I prefer English back when I signed up nearly 20 years ago.

      I found it under “Third-party AI” on the web portal settings. It was enabled for me, I’m in the US.
