oh oh....Condoleezza Rice joins Dropbox's board...time to drop that site.

[dixiegrrrrl]

Rice is a famous figure, known in almost equal parts for her ferocious intelligence, and controversial role in the Bush administration,

and

Rice’s firm RiceHadleyGates has been an active advisor to Dropbox. TechCrunch confirmed the hire.

What’s interesting about bringing Rice onto Dropbox’s board is how normal it feels. Dropbox needs people with international experience to help it at once deal with foreign governments that have blocked its use
