“Looking ahead to 2025, we’ll continue with our strategy of scaling Dash, simplifying and strengthening our profitable core business, and integrating Dash and FSS to deliver even greater value to our customers. While still early, the positive feedback from our Dash users has been encouraging, validating the need for practical AI-powered tools that solve real customer pain points in finding and securing all their content,” said DBX CEO Drew Houston.
