[Open the source ](https://dash.dropbox.com/features) ## Find a file whose name you forgot The layout was discussed in correspondence, and the final version was put in working storage. It is difficult to find it by one file name, because several drafts were called the same. Dropbox Dash searches for connected sources, which can include files, emails and other work materials. The set of results depends on the connections with applications and user rights. Start with the details you remember. The project name, file type and author name usually help distinguish the result from the neighboring work. ## Refine search before shipment For the training test, put three similar documents in different available folders. In the latter, replace the size of the package and update the brief description. Find it by project name and size. Open the result in the application from which it came. Make sure this is an approved version and the previous number is not left in the text as a condition for another model. When connecting multiple sources, check access from your colleague's account. If his rights are different, it is more convenient to link to an agreed workplace where he can already open the file. ## Search Area Before connecting applications, see what Dash can look for in each of them. For example, the ability to search for text within images depends on the interface. Take into account the time when new material appears in the results. For the final check, see the date and content in the source application. ## Suitable tasks - Find an approved version of the file - Collect working links from multiple sources Features ## Strengths - Single search by connected applications - The result leads to the found material Things to consider ## Limitations - Connections and access rights are required - Search within individual formats depends on the interface ## Selection and conditions Free access Not confirmed Trial period Yes No sign-up required Not confirmed Russian interface Not confirmed Local installation Not confirmed API Not confirmed “Not confirmed” means there is not enough information.
