For my taste dropbox.design is borderline ugly. It is definitely not pretty. The colors look like they were picked in MS Paint. https://www.dropbox.com https:/

For my taste dropbox.design is borderline ugly. It is definitely not pretty. The colors look like they were picked in MS Paint. https://www.dropbox.com https://www.dropbox.com is in the same style and I find it looks very unprofessional, even if it is targeted to regular users. It looks like an art gallery? https://www.dropbox.com/business https://www.dropbox.com/business on the other hand looks clean and trustworthy.

I didn't realize they redesigned the main page. Even putting the colors aside, the font itself looks terrible, like if they have bugged CSS or something.

Dear God I can't believe they've gone and done that to their consumer brand. It inspires no confidence, the visual style actually overwhelms the content on the page to the point where the product itself and its values fail to be communicated. On mobile it is particularly bad. If I didn't already have an account, the website design might be enough to keep me from creating one of I land on that front page.

It's not April 1. It's not URL hijacking. They have an EV cert. Ok, you got me, I have no idea how you're pulling it off. Some kind of silly hacker trickery must be the explanation, because there's absolutely no way that a company with such a long track record of tasteful design would intentionally put something that hideous into production. Right? Right??! :/

Seems like they're testing different landing pages, to me those look the same. Taking screenshots with different tools reveals two other pages (I assume the first is what you're seeing): https://imgur.com/a/lPqe3 https://imgur.com/a/lPqe3
