We’ve spent a lot of time recently talking to creative pros about their process. Filmmakers at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival offered interesting insight on their experiences, so we continued digging into creativity at this year’s South by Southwest.
Great news for Android users working on the go: you can now work on PDFs stored in Dropbox in the Adobe Acrobat Reader mobile app.
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.

With 500 million signups under our belt, it’s exciting to see Dropbox connecting people around the world with everything that’s important to them. But this milestone hints at something much bigger—how much our users are working together.
In the many conversations we’ve had with filmmakers, we’ve been amazed at just how many ways they’re using Dropbox. For people in a wide variety of roles, Dropbox is speeding up processes, simplifying collaboration, and getting the job done. So we’ve collected a few of the best ways filmmakers are using Dropbox—to help you keep production rolling.
If there’s one thing we learned at the Sundance Film Festival, it’s that there are many paths that lead into a final creative work. Each film, song, painting, or other piece can be the result of long-gestating ideas, concentrated teamwork, calculated gambles, or all of the above.
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.
