Now the edges of the valves (covers) coincide with the bottom edge, so visually, the icon is perceived as five identical squares. Now it has a thinner font compared to the previous version and corrected box proportions. This was seen in the symbolic gaps: especially in letters where there are round and semicircular holes – in the lowercase “o,” “p,” “b,” and capital “D.” 2017 – today Instead of elongated lines, squat and wide ones appeared.

The structure of the emblem remains the same – only the font has changed. The box does not merge with the lids, so the authors circled them with a thin light stripe. The depth was marked in white and indicated the bottomlessness of the cloud storage. The drawing in 2D format acquired the same color – without lightening or darkening. The designers have made it more schematic and flat. The word “Dropbox” is now the same blue as the icon, and it has a different shape. The changes made were related to style and color. On the right was the name of the company that provided this service. It was drawn as realistic as possible due to the shaded and lightened areas. On the left was an icon in the form of an open square box. The direct analogy stuck because it accurately reflected the service and did not clutter the logo with accompanying details. Therefore, it depicts an ordinary cardboard box, which manufacturers use to store and deliver goods. The debut logo of the cloud service was immediately associated with its name. has already been officially renamed Dropbox, Inc.

But Dropbox’s official opening date is 2008, when the unusual service kicked off right at TechCrunch Disrupt, an annual technology conference. As a result, in the spring of 2007, the student launched Evenflow, Inc. Having started doing a project for himself, he immediately realized that his startup would be useful to many users who face similar problems. Moreover, he did not like the services that existed since they suffered from Internet delay, difficulties in transferring large files, and simply from errors. Therefore, the student decided to do something to help him avoid such situations. Drew Houston conceived it after again forgetting his flash drive at home and did not have access to the completed task. Like any big project, Dropbox started with a trivial personal problem solution. Dropbox made it to the list of the most valuable startups in the world. This is an American company and its eponymous file hosting service.
