Technology has created all kinds of opportunities for new voices to find an audience, and the world of podcasting is a perfect example. What used to require an expensive radio studio and technical staff—plus dozens of permits—can now be done by anyone with a laptop, a mic, and a passion. In that spirit, we’re celebrating the voices at the forefront of this vibrant medium at this year’s South by Southwest with the Dropbox Podcast Studio.

It’s hard not to feel happy on a day like today, when the world is covered in pink hearts and flowers aplenty. And here at Dropbox, we’re feeling the love, too—for our users, that is—and we wanted to find a creative way to show it. So we handed the reigns over to some of the most talented, imaginative folks we know: the designers we work with.
Today is Safer Internet Day, and we’re taking the opportunity to promote responsible use of online technology. Everyone can do their part to make the internet a safer place. To help, we’ve put together this list of the most important steps you can take to safeguard your data in the cloud.
