Three years after moving off AWS, Dropbox infrastructure continues to evolve
Conventional wisdom would suggest that you close your data centers and move to the cloud, not the other way around, but in 2016 Dropbox undertook the opposite journey. It (mostly) ended its long-time relationship with AWS and built its own data centers. Of course, that same conventional wisdom would say, it’s going to get prohibitively […] Continue reading Three years after moving off AWS, Dropbox infrastructure continues to evolve
Why I'm quitting Dropbox (and Dropbox is fine with that)
I don’t know when I opened my Dropbox account. It was years ago –
probably not long after it was founded in 2007. Since then I’ve been a
fan of the way Dropbox makes saving files in the cloud – and sharing

Yevgeniy Nikulin is headed back to court. The Russian accused of hacking a number of sites, including LinkedIn and Dropbox, was ruled fit to stand trial in a May 29 decision by U.S. District Judge William Alsup.
