This is a total non-starter from a privacy perspective. Not only is it pulling in everything from all the cloud apps you connect to it, but also the contents of any devices you enable it on, everything within every browser tab, and god knows what else.

It also seems to solve a problem for Dropbox (they aren't on the AI train) but not for the user. How many people don't know their upcoming meeting is on their calendar, or that the spreadsheet they created is in Excel/Sheets? All of which have excellent search experiences already.

From their documentation Dash uses Spotlight for local files.

So it's not moving your file data up to the cloud just the connector data.
