Dropbox gave us access to project-folder-related data, which Dropbox
had aggregated and anonymized, for all the scientists using its platform
over the period from May 2015 to May 2017 — a group that represented
1,000 universities.
This included information on a user’s total number of folders, folder
structure, and shared folder access, but we and Dropbox employees could
view no personally identifiable information. What we did see was every
Dropbox folder associated with a given researcher, along with whom
they’d shared the folder with, how often the folder was accessed by
anyone associated with it, the duration of collaboration on a project,
and how users split their time among different projects represented by
the folders—a wide variety of specific touchpoints. We also had
reliable data on seniority levels of users, such as whether they were
senior or junior faculty. Overall, we analyzed data for roughly 400,000
unique users working on about 500,000 separate projects.
