By complying with the HRC’s controversial demands, Dropbox, a file hosting service, increases the risk of dividing employees, alienating customers and harming shareholders. The company covers transgender-related medical costs for its employees and their children and provides specific sexual orientation and gender identity-based benefits. It also uses sex and gender ideology criteria in employee recruitment, vendor selection, marketing, and philanthropic support. Dropbox forces employees to undergo multiple ideological trainings and uses its reputation, corporate funds, and political influence to support controversial sex and gender ideologies, organizations, and legislation. Dropbox does not provide viewpoint protections for its employees. A company executive publicly stated she prioritized people of color in the hiring process. Dropbox signed a public letter opposing a proposed religious freedom law in Missouri and has pledged support to BLM and related causes. The company supports the Equality Act and has opposed anti-LGBTQ legislation. Dropbox offers support for its employees to receive gender affirming healthcare but has not used its political contributions for ideological purposes. The company opposed various state and local legislation intended to protect parental rights, girls’ sports, bathroom facilities, and gendered spaces. Dropbox denounced various states’ legislative efforts to protect election integrity and security. The company signed an amicus brief in opposition to the 2016 North Carolina bathroom bill HB2, which required people to use the bathroom of their biological sex. For these reasons, Dropbox receives a High Risk rating.
