It works well! I remember being pleasantly surprised by this feature when I was searching for an unrelated document last time I logged in, and it found a bunch of images. I was like, wait, how did it know that...? It's a cool stealth feature.
Any chance Dropbox might want to add more DAMS-like features in the future, so that Dropbox can be used as a central image repository not just for photo originals but public websites, etc.? Kinda like Imgix or Cloudinary? I know our org already uses Dropbox to store asset originals, and it would be lovely to be able to hook in to a powerful API to serve it at different responsive sizes, formats, cropping, etc.
Thanks! I can't talk about potential future releases, but we do have some nice thumbnailing capabilities that could be used for this sort of thing if we decided to go that way. Some of these capabilities are exposed in our public API: https://dropbox.tech/developers/scaling-down-large-image-fil...
Very cool writeup! There is a lot of progress in multi-modal AI/image-text/video matching. Are you guys hiring researchers (who like to build things) in this area?
