Dropbox Launches Connector That Lets Meta's Muse Agent Use Your Project Files

What the connector does

Once a user connects Dropbox to Muse, the agent can use project context to find relevant files, organize project materials, collect what is missing, prepare work to share and carry out actions as part of a broader, multi-step plan, according to Dropbox.

Dropbox gives an example from a small business onboarding a new customer. The onboarding checklist, welcome materials, service information and project templates already sit in Dropbox. A user could ask Muse to "Onboard this customer using our materials in Dropbox." Muse could then identify the required steps, information and milestones, create a customer folder, organize the relevant documents, set up a file request for anything missing and prepare a shared link for the customer. It can also draft a welcome note and kickoff checklist, or coordinate next steps with other connected apps where supported.

For supported workflows, Muse is designed to keep working after the user closes the app and to return when it needs input or approval, Dropbox says.

Creative work and project tracking

Dropbox also points to creative use. A long-form video may sit next to brand guidelines, past scripts, campaign plans and reference assets. If a user asks Muse to "turn this into a week of content," the agent can work from that material. According to Dropbox, it can identify key themes and help prepare a video description, newsletter copy, social captions and short-form concepts, then organize them in a campaign folder alongside the original recording.

For freelancers and small-business owners juggling several projects, Muse can be asked to surface missing client inputs, upcoming deliverables and decisions that need attention, using the project materials in Dropbox.

Ashraf Alkarmi, co-CEO of Dropbox, said the opportunity is "to make Dropbox useful wherever work happens, so customers can spend less time managing it and more time growing their business."

Access, permissions and data handling

Authorizing the connector gives Muse permission to access the files and folders available through the connected Dropbox account. Dropbox states that connecting Muse does not change existing sharing settings.

Meta's terms and privacy policies apply to how Muse accesses and uses the content. Dropbox says it keeps source files safe in the user's account, while Meta governs how its AI agent interacts with them. Muse can search and retrieve content in the connected account and use Dropbox tools to create and organize files and folders, create shared links and set up file requests as part of requested workflows.

Actions that change Dropbox content, such as creating files, folders or shared links, or moving, copying or deleting content, prompt Muse to ask for additional confirmation. Users can review and change these permissions in their Muse account settings.

Availability and setup

The connector is available in English to users in the United States and Canada. It works with all Dropbox accounts and is offered across all Muse plans.

To connect, users log in to Muse, open the menu in the bottom-left corner and select Settings. Under Connectors, they search for Dropbox and click Connect, review the connection details and click Connect again, then sign in to Dropbox and authorize Meta Muse to access the account.

For Dropbox users, the launch extends the reach of their stored files into a third-party AI agent. Because Meta's policies govern how Muse uses the content, users should review those terms alongside the permission settings before connecting.
