This type of corporate writing is not serving anyone...
PS: Interestingly, Arash has Mac and Drew has Thinkpad in first picture :).
Perhaps Jobs was right ... it is a feature not a product.
All said, I stopped paying for Dropbox about 6 months back as I couldn’t convince myself paying $9.99 for something I was already getting with Office 365.
All I needed from them was like a $2.99 plan for 200GB and I would have continued to be a paying customer.
Anyone know what he's going off to do that he's leaving Dropbox?
I think the post is first and foremost for thanking Arash for his work on Dropbox and about the partnership he had with Drew, and telling us about it comes second.
"Arash – our co-founder and great friend – is leaving Dropbox for new adventures."
Just one simple sentence like that at the top lets us know the rest of the post isn't a eulogy, or at least not the kind where someone passed away.
Any other point in time when there isn't a global pandemic you can leave that out, but right now times are weird and confusing.
And Arash is well known at Dropbox (and also here.)
"After six and a half years, Guido van Rossum, the creator of Python, is leaving Dropbox and heading into retirement."
No ambiguities regarding the reasons for the post then.
(Also, for what it's worth, I had no idea who Arash was prior to reading this post.)
