Moving to Virtual First meant that we had to rethink our physical offices, so we spent the last few months optimizing our spaces to preserve team collaboration and human connection.
Virtual First is an approach that combines the best of both worlds—the flexibility of remote work with spaces optimized for purposeful teamwork. We still believe that in-person connection is important, so this is where Studios come into play.
Dropbox Studios are a reimagining of how we use our offices. While individual or deep-focus work will happen remotely, our Studios are intended for the in-person collaborating, connecting with colleagues, and community building we’ve all been missing.
We also recognize that the pandemic is still very much a reality and employee safety remains our top priority. We are phasing the opening of Studios globally based on local health guidance and implementing health and safety protocols to protect employees against COVID-19.
Our aim is to be intentional and thoughtful about what will make our Virtual First model a success, but we know it’s new and we won’t get it right every time. So we’re adopting a learning mindset, and are prepared to adapt as we begin to welcome Dropbox employees back in person.
@Dropbox how about you slim down the dropbox binary so it doesn’t use 0.5GB of space on my drive.. just by its self?? Seriously what’s going on in that thing?
@Dropbox what it looks like is a sore butt and back for weeks because only 10% of those sitting surfaces look comfortable or padded at all
