It’s clear that distributed work is here to stay. All these insights are informing our product roadmap, and our thinking about the workplace.

There are many things people miss about the office.Įven with the drawbacks, the EIU data shows that people think the benefits of remote work outweigh the negatives. In our study with the EIU, workers also say company culture suffers with no in-person interaction, risk of miscommunication is higher, and it’s harder to start new projects with multiple collaborators. Back-to-back video conferences, constant notifications, and isolation from peers can be overwhelming. As a company, we’ve continued to serve our customers without interruption and shipped new products and features.īut things aren’t perfect. In our internal surveys most employees say they’re able to be productive at home (nearly 90%) and don’t want to return to a rigid five-day in-office workweek. A new study from The Economist Intelligence Unit commissioned by Dropbox finds that knowledge workers are more focused at home and just as engaged as before. We believe the data shows the shift to remote work, though abrupt, has been successful overall. As virtually all work becomes digital, organizing all your team’s content in one place has never felt so important.

But we’re fortunate that our product helped us transition pretty seamlessly, and that it helped others too-we’ve seen increased adoption and usage this year. This year’s abrupt shift to remote work was jarring for us, along with everyone else.
