accounts for utilization levels. As it appears that the level of activity on your platform among the registered user base would necessarily bear on the scale of your paid conversion opportunity, please disclose the number of active registered users

aggregate active user metrics over time as predictors of revenue or conversion. The Company does not charge based on activity level or generate any other revenue (such as advertising) based on activity level, so it is not viewed as an important
indicator for the business. Further, as management does not view such metrics as relevant to conversion, the Company does not set goals on these metrics. The Company has added risk factor disclosure on page 35 to clarify that it does not
comprehensively track user activity levels for financial planning and forecasting purposes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company further advises the Staff that
based on the user activity data the Company does have, the Company has not seen a positive correlation between the number of aggregate active users and the number of paying users. The factors that the Company believes makes certain registered users
more likely than others to convert to paying users have already been disclosed in the Registration Statement: users that (i)&nbsp;have used a business domain email to sign up to the Company&#146;s platform; (ii)&nbsp;have used specific types of
laptop, phone, or tablet devices to access the Company&#146;s platform; or (iii)&nbsp;signed up from certain countries in more developed markets in North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific. The Company respectfully advises the Staff that it has
revised the disclosure on pages 59 and 86 to 87 accordingly. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, the Company respectfully advises the Staff that the
500&nbsp;million and 300&nbsp;million registered user metrics do not include users whose accounts have been closed due to inactivity and non-responsiveness. The Company has revised the disclosure on page 65 to reflect this and to also disclose that
the Company continues to close long-inactive and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-responsive</FONT> accounts and, when closed, removes the affected users from its user metrics. </P>

Office of Foreign Assets Control&#146;s (OFAC) &#147;personal communications&#148; general licenses have authorized the Company&#146;s provision of its software and services to its free and paying users in Sudan and Iran for all Dropbox accounts,
including Dropbox Plus, Dropbox Professional, and Dropbox Business. Accordingly, the Company is unaware of any OFAC violations with respect to those countries. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">OFAC&#146;s personal communications general licenses have also authorized the Company&#146;s provision of its software and services to its
free users in Syria. The Company historically employed IP address blocking in an effort to prevent the provision of its paid services into embargoed countries and regions. However, the Company discovered that, from 2014-2017, some users were able to
register for and use paid services in Syria due to implementation gaps in the Company&#146;s IP address blocking logic, which have since been remediated. The Company estimates that from 2014-2017, it had 992 users (across Dropbox Plus and Dropbox
Business) potentially located in Syria amounting to an aggregate of $23,355.07 of revenue, or 0.0008% of its total revenue for that time period. The Company respectfully advises the Staff that this amount is <I>de minimis</I> and the Company is
voluntarily disclosing the potential violations to OFAC. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">North Korea does not appear to have an OFAC personal communications general
license available. From 2016-2017, a small number of users in North Korea were able to register for and use paid services in North Korea due to implementation gaps in the Company&#146;s IP address blocking logic, which have since been remediated.
Specifically, the Company estimates that from 2016-2017 it had 24 paying users potentially located in North Korea amounting to an aggregate of $294.69 of revenue, or 0.00002% </P>

team plan or are individuals on a Plus or Professional plan. In cases where an organization already has had substantial organic adoption of the Dropbox platform, the Company will complement its self-serve strategy with a small and focused outbound
sales effort. As such, the Company believes the current disclosure of its opportunities, challenges and risks as described in &#147;Management&#146;s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations&#148; is appropriate. </P>

paying users. Further, the Company respectfully notes that while its Enterprise subscription plans offer more opportunities for customization for larger customers, companies and teams within companies do not need to subscribe to an Enterprise plan
to use Dropbox for their business needs. The vast majority of Dropbox Business teams purchase the Company&#146;s Standard or Advanced subscription plans, which offer robust capabilities for business uses. The Company has added disclosure on page 58
to this effect. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company respectfully advises the Staff that it cannot track the number of teams within organizations with certainty,
as a single organization could have one or more teams, and the Company does not have sufficient information to confirm that any particular team is part of a single organization. The Company does not always have centralized billing for organizations
and does not have an enterprise-driven sales team. As a result, the only way for the Company to track whether Dropbox Business is being used at a particular organization is through the domain email addresses that are associated with Dropbox Business
team users, which is not a reliable way to track the number of organizations. Further, the Company does not generally track the size of organizations that use Dropbox (such as small- and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">medium-sized</FONT>
businesses and large enterprises) other than in isolated and limited circumstances, such as cross-checking the domain names of users within teams against the list of Fortune 500 companies. </P>

opportunity available to the Company to grow the number of Dropbox Business teams. Specifically, the Company has disclosed that it has 290,000 Dropbox Business teams, and that of its 10&nbsp;million paying users, approximately 30% use Dropbox for
work on a Dropbox Business team plan. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company supplementally advises the Staff that the statistic on the Company&#146;s website
referencing 52% of the Fortune 500 refers to the percentage of Fortune 500 companies that have at least one Dropbox Business team within their organizations. As mentioned above, the Company arrived at this number through the manual process of
cross-checking the individual user <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">e-mail</FONT> domain names within a Dropbox Business team against the Fortune 500 list. This analysis was possible given the limited sample size of the Fortune 500. The Company has
added disclosure on pages 98 and 99 to provide this statistic (updated to reflect the latest percentage). The statistic on the Company&#146;s website regarding 200,000 </P>
