I have witnessed my designer colleagues explore many new ways of keeping our culture alive. Passing a teammate in the hallway and sharing updates. Disagreeing and committing during meetings.

You’d think that Dropbox, one of the companies that pioneered working in “the cloud,” would already be a well-oiled machine for remote work. And what I do know quite well is how to collaborate remotely using Dropbox Paper. But it got me thinking: “What knowledge do I have that might matter to someone?” I realized people all over the world are looking for ways to “keep the lights on” at work, but from within their homes. Talk about feeling nonessential for a moment. I’m a designer who pushes pixels on a computer. I don’t know how to 3D-print respirator parts. The world decided that only “essential workers” were allowed to go to work. I will have worked at an arm’s length from where I sleep for nine months-at the least.
Here I am, months later, with another six months of remote work expected. I mentally prepared to WFH for the next two weeks. Overnight our entire company was asked to work from home as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. “Today, we’re taking the step of asking everyone in our global offices to begin working from home for the next two weeks.“ Subject line: “Important: please begin working from home” Here’s a description of what it is and how we use it at work, plus some templates for you to use:
