I don't understand this decision. Dropbox in February (2014) was finally allowed use back in China, so my understanding is they're going hard for that market of over a billion people.
I wouldn't be surprised if China blocked them again due to this appointment.

Dropbox probably recruited her for her conservatism in this area, and for the prestige of her previous position. If she causes problems it would be because her prestige was dinged by backlash in the US.
