    Question

    On behalf of Mark Murphy, Sonak Kolar asked about potential AI-related opportunities beyond Dash and the company's build-versus-buy evaluation process. He also inquired about the traction for Dash so far, specifically the split between existing Dropbox users and entirely new customers.

    Answer

    CEO Drew Houston explained that Dash creates a foundation for many adjacent opportunities, citing the acquisition of Reclaim (AI time analytics) as an example of extending Dash's capabilities. Regarding customer traction, he stated that both existing and new customers are important tracks. Existing users offer a 'home field advantage' with shorter sales cycles, while the company is also building a dedicated effort to attract net new, larger customers who may have longer sales cycles but higher potential ACVs.
