## Overview

Dropbox: Secure cloud storage, file sharing, and more: Discover Dropbox – secure, easy cloud storage for file sharing and collaboration. With Dash, save time and organize all your company content in one place.

Soft, well-rounded controls, one soft shadow for depth, confident display type at 40px / 500, a single blue accent on neutrals. The site ships in light mode by default. Measured from 1560 rendered elements at 1440px wide on 2026-09-28.

Reference screenshots live beside this file; look at them before writing any layout, they carry the composition, density and image treatment that tokens cannot:

- `screenshots/desktop-1440-fold.png`: Desktop 1440, above the fold
- `screenshots/desktop-1440-full.jpg`: Desktop 1440, full page
- `screenshots/laptop-1024-fold.png`: Laptop 1024, above the fold
- `screenshots/tablet-768-fold.png`: Tablet 768, above the fold
- `screenshots/phone-390-fold.png`: Phone 390, above the fold
- `screenshots/phone-390-full.jpg`: Phone 390, full page

## Colors

| Token | Value | Use |
| --- | --- | --- |
| background | `#ffffff` | Page background |
| surface | `#eee9e2` | Cards, panels, raised or recessed surfaces |
| foreground | `#f7f5f2` | Primary text |
| muted-foreground | `#1e1919` | Secondary text, captions |
| primary | `#0061fe` | Accent: primary buttons, links, focus |
| on-primary | `#ffffff` | Text on the accent |
| secondary | `#cd2f7b` | Secondary accent (red) |
| border | `#1e1919` | Hairlines, dividers, input borders |

Full painted palette by area (largest first): `#ffffff`, `#1e1919`, `#000000`, `#eee9e2`, `#0061fe`.

Gradients in use: `linear-gradient(rgb(41, 44, 49), rgb(0, 0, 0))`.

The accent `#0061fe` is used sparingly: primary buttons, links and focus rings. Everything else stays neutral.

## Responsive Behavior

| Viewport | Content width | Gutter | Body | H1 | Header | Hero | Grids | Buttons |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| desktop 1440px | 1344px | 48px | 16px | 40px, 2 lines, start | 72px, 6 links, 1 CTA | media below text | 7→6 col; 2→2 col; 2→1 col | content-width |
| laptop 1024px | 945px | 48px | 16px | 40px, 3 lines, start | 72px, 3 links, 1 CTA | media below text | 2→2 col; 2→1 col; 4→4 col | content-width |
| tablet 768px | 672px | 32px | 16px | 40px, 2 lines, start | 72px, 3 links, 1 CTA | media below text | 2→1 col; 2→1 col; 2→1 col | content-width |
| phone 390px | 334px | 24px | 16px | 32px, 3 lines, start | 48px, hamburger (icon) | media below text | 2→1 col; 2→1 col; 2→1 col | content-width |

- H1 goes 40px → 32px (80%), 2 → 3 lines.
- Nav collapses to a hamburger by 390px (first seen at 390px); header 72px → 48px.
- Body text stays 16px at every width.
- Phone side gutter 24px.
- Section top padding 72px → 72px.

## Interaction & Motion

152 elements carry transitions; typical 0.125s with linear, mostly on background-color, color, border-color. 1 running keyframe animations (_keyframes-standard_90hav_1 90s infinite).

- Hover on button-primary ("Get started"): background #0061fe → #0057e5; cursor pointer; transition background-color, border-color | 0.1s, 0.1s | cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.6, 1), cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.6, 1).
- Hover on button-secondary ("Try Dropbox free"): background #0061fe → #0057e5; cursor pointer; transition background-color, border-color | 0.1s, 0.1s | cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.6, 1), cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.6, 1).
- Hover on nav-link ("Business"): text #1e1919 → #0061fe, border #1e1919 → #0061fe, icon/inner colour → #0061fe; cursor pointer; transition color | 0.125s | linear.
- Focus on button-primary: box-shadow ring rgb(66, 139, 255) 0px 0px 0px 3px.
- Tooltip triggers exist (3 × aria-describedby, 2 × title) but none opened on hover in the first viewport; title attributes fall back to the browser's native tooltip.
- Hover/click menus: below the trigger, 8px gap, left edges aligned; transparent, radius 0px, padding 0px 0px, shadow none; 16 items, 92px tall, 16px, padding 0px 0px, with descriptions, 3 columns; fades in (opacity 0.09 at 40ms → 1.00); removed instantly on leave.
- 33 sizable elements sit at opacity 0 before scrolling: scroll-reveal animations are in use (reveal on enter, fade + rise is the usual recipe).
- Portal roots present: dwg-modal__portal, dwg-modal__portal, dwg-modal__portal.

Full detail (every overlay, table, form, scroll and text rule measured) is in `BEHAVIOR.md`; raw evidence in `evidence.json`.

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do use 4px multiples for every padding, margin and gap; the site does not use odd values.
- Do reserve `#0061fe` for actions and focus; never paint large areas with it.
- Do keep body text at 16px in Atlas Grotesk Web and headings in Sharp Grotesk.
- Do match corner radii per element class (buttons 12px, cards 0px); do not pick one radius for everything.
- Do use the measured shadows above; do not invent heavier ones.
- Don't substitute a different accent hue or introduce gradients that are not listed above.
- Don't rebuild from the tokens alone; open the screenshots for composition, density and image treatment.
- Note: Body text contrast is 1.1:1 against the page background (below 4.5:1).
