# Dropbox

> Extracted from [https://www.dropbox.com/](https://www.dropbox.com/) on 2026-11-12 by Emblematic. Every value below was read from the rendered DOM (computed styles, `document.fonts`, and the fonts Chrome actually used to paint text), not estimated from pixels. When the YAML front matter and this prose disagree, the YAML wins. Copy values from this file exactly; don't transcribe them from memory. Don't copy logos, imagery, illustrations or marketing copy.

## Overview

Dropbox uses a light canvas (#FFFFFF) with a palette led by #0061FE. Type is set in **Atlas Grotesk**, **Sharp Grotesk** (display), with 16px body text. Layout: 1344px container, top-sticky navigation, 9 sections. Built with react, lenis.

## Colors

Area-weighted from painted backgrounds, text and borders on the 1440px light capture. Roles are inferred from usage (largest background, most text, interactive fills). Every hex is an exact computed value; a role marked *unverified* is a best guess that has not passed review, so its canonical token (e.g. `primary`) is left out of the front matter.

| Token | Hex | OKLCH | Role | Share of paint | CSS variable |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `background` | `#FFFFFF` | 1 0 0 | bg | 37.3% | `--dig-color__background__base` |

Sparse chromatic highlights (not accents): `#CD2F7B` (`--dig-color__accent__magenta`).

Declared brand/accent tokens: `--dig-color__accent__red` = `#9B0032` (declared, not painted on this page), `--dig-color__accent__cyan` = `#007891` (declared, not painted on this page).

Contrast: text on background 17.38:1, muted text 5.3:1, accent 5.07:1.

Gradients in use: `linear-gradient(rgb(41, 44, 49), rgb(0, 0, 0))`; `radial-gradient(44% 58% at 10% 30%, rgb(40, 55, 80) 0%, rgba(40, 55, 80, 0) 62%), radial-gradient(40% 54% at 56% 18%, rgb(0, 97, 254) 0%, rg`.

The site does not change under `prefers-color-scheme: dark`.

## Typography

| Family | Role | Weights | Share of text | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **Atlas Grotesk** (CSS: `Atlas Grotesk Web`) | body | 400, 500 | 65.5% | webfont |
| **Sharp Grotesk** | display | 400, 500 | 34.5% | webfont |

Declared in `@font-face` but not used to paint text on this page: Sharp Grotesk Condensed, Sharp Grotesk Super Condensed, Sharp Grotesk Wide, Sharp Grotesk 23, Sharp Grotesk KR, Sharp Grotesk Thai. Don't treat these as the page's fonts.

Scale (px): 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 24, 26, 32, 66. Effective ratio ≈ 1.266 (close to a major third). Body 16px at line-height 1.5; display 66.24px with tracking -0.015em. Headings are sentence case. On a 390px viewport the body is 16px and display 32px.

## Layout

Spacing follows a 4px base unit; the most used steps are 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, 51.5, 72, 120, 258.5px. Sections open with about 120px of space before their first line of text. Content sits in a 1344px container on a 2-column grid. Text density 0.065 (text area / page area).

Section order (desktop). Kinds below the review threshold are shown as *section*:

1. **section** (56px, bg #DFF29F)
2. **nav** (72px, bg #FFFFFF)
3. **hero** — “Peace of mind built in. Freedom to work your way.” (794px, bg #0B2C9E)
4. **section** — “Join the over 700 million registered users who trust Dropbox” (1062px, bg #F7F5F2)
5. **section** — “Bring Dropbox content into your favorite AI tools” (2997px, bg #1E1919)
6. **section** (2540px, bg #FFFFFF)
7. **section** — “Education” (944px, bg #FFFFFF)
8. **section** — “Discover, learn, thrive with Dropbox” (998px, bg #F7F5F2)
9. **footer** — “Company” (715px, bg #FFFFFF)

## Shapes

Dominant corner radius 0px; radii in use: 12px, 16px, 57.5px, 58px, pill. Borders: regular (2px).

## Components

- **button-primary**: backgroundColor `#0061FE`, textColor `#F7F5F2`, rounded `12px`, padding `0px 12px`, height `40px`, fontFamily `Times`, fontSize `16px`, fontWeight `400`, border `2px solid #0061FE`
- **button-secondary**: textColor `#FFFFFF`, rounded `16px`, padding `24px 24px`, height `71.2px`, fontFamily `Atlas Grotesk`, fontSize `16px`, fontWeight `500`, border `2px solid #FFFFFF` (e.g. “Try Dropbox free”)
- **card**: rounded `12px`, padding `0px`, backgroundColor `#F7F5F2`

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do reserve `#0061FE` for primary actions and highlights; it covers only 5.2% of the painted page.
- Do set body copy in Atlas Grotesk at 16px / 1.5.
- Do use Sharp Grotesk only for display sizes, not for body text.
- Do tighten large headlines (-0.015em at 66.24px).
- Don't introduce font weights beyond 400, 500.
- Don't add drop shadows; depth comes from tone and borders.
- Do keep corners at 0px for most controls, and use the larger radii only for cards and media.
- Do snap spacing to multiples of 4px.
- Don't copy this site's logos, illustrations, photography or copy; use the system, not the brand assets.
