Monday, October 28, 6:00 PM, EEB125 At Dropbox we’re building the home for people’s most important stuff – their photos, docs, and other treasured information. Our small team of engineers builds the thousands of complex parts that seamlessly handle over a billion files a day for over 200 million users, while delivering a product that’s easy enough for your grandparents to use. While we’ve built a great foundation, we’ve only just begun…
