Re: Registration Statement on Form S‑8

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) to be filed by Dropbox, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about the date hereof, relating to the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of 20,287,746 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Shares”), reserved for issuance pursuant to the Dropbox, Inc. 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

On the basis of the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, we are of the opinion that the Shares, when issued and sold in the manner referred to in the Plan and pursuant to the agreements that accompany the Plan, will be legally and validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable.

We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, and further consent to the use of our name wherever appearing in the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati
