Program overview
At Dropbox, we believe in delivering great products that simplify the way people work together, and we value partners
who share our vision. The Dropbox Reseller Program (the “Program”) is designed to provide the training, systems and
tools necessary for partners to present and support Dropbox to their customers.
Program Guide
This Dropbox Reseller Program Guide (the “Program Guide”) details how partners are eligible to participate in the
Dropbox Reseller Program. The Program Guide terms are in addition to, and incorporated into, the terms of the Reseller
Agreement (the “Agreement”) entered into between the parties. In the event that any term of this Program Guide
conflicts with any term of the Agreement, including any addenda thereto, the terms of this Program Guide will control to
the extent of such conflict unless expressly stated otherwise.

Dropbox determines a partner’s membership level through the investment in training and sales. Higher levels of
engagement and performance qualify partners for an advanced level of membership. The Program features three levels
of membership: Registered, Select, and Elite.
In addition, partners can become certified as a Dropbox Select Services Partner or a Dropbox Elite Services Partner.
Qualification criteria
After joining the Program, partners are only eligible for the Program Benefits after they satisfy the Program
Requirements including those on the next page and any other then-current requirements.
Evaluation period
Dropbox will evaluate Program participants annually to ensure they continue to meet the requirements for their specific
level in the Program. If Dropbox determines that a partner does not meet the requirements for their level, Dropbox may
transition that partner out of the specific level, or out of the Program entirely. In the latter case, all Program Benefits will
immediately cease.
