As Dynbox has grown, we've seen the number of files managed by our system skyrocket from a few thousand to over 100,000. It's an incredible milestone, and it's all thanks to you, our early users. This growth brought on a new, exciting challenge: how do we keep up?

I want to take you behind the scenes to share how we rebuilt our file processing engine to handle this scale and what it means for the future of Dynbox.

What is File Indexing?

When you connect your files to Dynbox, we don't just list them in the explorer. To make them truly useful for our AI, we need to "index" them.

Indexing is the process where we create a summary and an "embedding"—a mathematical representation of the file's content. This allows the AI to quickly grasp the meaning of your documents without having to read them from scratch every single time. It's the magic that powers fast, accurate search and analysis.

First off, a huge thank you to our early users. Your feedback is invaluable as we build Dynbox, and your trust means the world to us. Recently, few users pointed out something very important: the "Google hasn't verified this app" warning that appears when connecting a Google Drive account is, frankly, a bit scary.

They are right.

We want to address this head-on, explain what it means, why it happens, and what our plan is.

What Is This "Unverified App" Screen?

When an application like Dynbox wants to interact with your Google Drive files, it uses Google's official API. To protect users, Google has a verification process to ensure that applications are secure and handle data responsibly.

After months of hard work, I'm excited to announce that Dynbox is now public! 🎉

This is still an early release, and your feedback is incredibly valuable to help shape the future of Dynbox. If you have any suggestions, questions, or run into issues, please don't hesitate to reach out:
