A Peek Inside Dropbox?s Company-Wide Hack Week At Its Big New SF Offices

From the outside, Dropbox looks occupied with launches these days. It came out with a big redesign this month, then followed up quickly with a new way to share files with Facebook friends. But the company is busy with a lot of internal growth, too. It recently moved into big new offices down the street from us in the tech-heavy SOMA district of San Francisco, and has been busy hiring elite engineers (or buying them, like it did with the recent acquisition of Cove). It also has the added challenge of bonding the team together in the middle of the action, trying to maintain its startup culture.?So it took the idea of a hackathon -- usually a 24-hour event where developers compete to build small projects -- and turned it into a full week in early March.
