Dropbox doesn't RMA drives, everything is de-duped then stored on S3. (or at least that is what they told me when I interviewed with them)

- rdl 13y agoThey were on S3 at one point in time (and pretty widely known as the biggest S3 customer). I'm not sure if they are on S3 today. This may depend on when you interviewed.
- quanticle 13y agoAccording to https://www.dropbox.com/help/7/en https://www.dropbox.com/help/7/en they're still on S3.
- dsl 13y agoFrom the caliber of engineers I talked to, I can't imagine them bringing storage in house without some major churn. It is a sea of fresh CS grads with no real world operational experience.
