We stand with the Black community and for civil rights everywhere. We mourn the loss of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and all the others before them. The pain and anger we’re experiencing as a nation can’t be healed until we create a racially just society.

Today we announced that

is going Virtual First. We've learned a lot during the shift to remote work, and we hope this intentional approach will blend the best of both remote and in-office work, and help us live our mission.
It’s clear that distributed work is here to stay, and we believe that brings an opportunity to redesign the way we work for the better. Starting today, Dropbox is becoming a Virtual First company.
