When you get a chance give this post a read, we're investing in our personal users now more than ever. The features we've announced are just the beginning.

Thanks so much. We love to share how we build things with the tech community and we know the tradeoffs when we post them. We're just a bunch of people doing our best to do right by our users.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm not at all responsible for this, but I'll pass it on to our sync team.

Honestly just use GitHub. My (high level) understanding of sync is file system issues file event for every file change, we receive it, determine if its relevant, and then make the appropriate delta. You can imagine with thousands (or millio

FWIW I've passed this note along to our sync team but I don't have a ton of insight here.

Thanks so much! I had the realization recently that we don't talk a lot about what engineers do outside of writing code and the Plus launch was the perfect narrative to talk about it.

We do use storybook! We have an internal design system called DIG that may eventually be shared more publicly. Each individual feature gets a "product component library" which is a way to rapidly build components on top of DIG.

Click the dropbox icon, click your avatar, preferences, notifications for most in app notifications. TBH the whole point of Basic is to be a trial sku so I don't know if you can turn those off. We do want you to become a paying custome

It's important to note that many of these companies are operating under different constraints than us. Bigger companies are able to reduce the price of storage based on it's value to other features. Some companies make storage che

API-QL is essentially a glue layer to make our internal interface, Stone, play nicely with Apollo. We might open source some pieces of it, but the vast majority of it is code generation for very specific Dropbox use cases. https:/&#x2

We get it. The simple truth is we need to provide more than just storage to succeed in the marketplace. We rewrote our sync engine recently to make things much more performant and we're working on shipping more value to users with fewe
