Dropbox has achieved high scalability, growing from 1 million registered users in 2010 to over 500 million users in 2016. This growth was enabled by choosing the programming language Go for its performance and scalability. Dropbox also regularly releases beta updates and tests potential points of failure on its live site. While Dropbox has scaled enormously, limitations include potential performance issues from CPU and memory constraints on Android.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

How Dropbox achieve High scalability
4. • Go, limited structural typing, memory safety features and concurrent programming
• Maybe it sounds stupid to run fire drills on the live site, but testing
environments are not sufficient and this is really good insurance
IT 15 0253 40
How Dropbox achieve High scalability
Choosing Go was a Good Decision
Test Potential Fail Points
Keep Hardware Consistence
• Having pieces of hardware's with consistent configurations
Use UTC Time
• Business relies on reliable file synchronization and time zone change
will be the potential issue
5. • Dropbox still releases beta channel updates to its Android, Mac, Windows and
Linux clients. These releases often introduce new features before they hit the
main line for users who explicitly are willing to test the newest stuff, while
understanding there could be bugs
• Users with large numbers of shared folders only had to make one query
of the database

How Dropbox achieve High scalability
Release Often
Sharing on Dropbox was quiet Buggy
6. IT 15 0253 40
Mainly Affected Quality Attributes
Performance
• Scale out with mirror servers
• Secondary CPU’s
• Mchached queries
Usability
• Augmented Document Scanner
• Log spam & Downtime log
• Version Controlling
8. Scaling of Dropbox is very high but there is always a trade off
and impact may be high at some point.

10. • CPU and Memory issues
python isn’t used on Android in order to reduce impact for memory
constraints. mixed environment of python and C creates problems
when fixing CPU.
• Syncing issues
Dropbox automatically throttles itself to 75% of your maximum
upload.

11. Usability & Interoperability
• Re-login issue in Android old Versions
• Issues in upload and download in Android
downloading large files from the Drobox app on Android mobile device.
Android application doesn’t provide “resume download” feature
LIMITATIONS & TRADE OFF ANALYSIS
• Resetting password
resetting password on web affected to the Android mobile application

12. Security
• Vulnerability in the Dropbox SDK – 2014
• Dropbox's "cloud" technology model issue
All Dropbox accounts could be accessed without password for four
hours. The error was caused by an authentication code update.
• Attack in 2012
More than 68 million passwords were robbed from DropBox.
accounts may have been exposed including emails and
encrypted passwords
LIMITATIONS & TRADE OFF ANALYSIS

13. • Encryption issue
users do not have such opportunity to upload their own data with encryption.
Dropbox employees or the government could see or access your files at will.
Strengths Weaknesses
Offline saving available.
Automatic photo and video upload option.
Can create text files inside app.
Light image-editing abilities.
it can automatically back up your photos and videos, too
Security and encryption
Limited sharing and syncing control problem
Opportunities Threats
Offline services – can use offline folder on android app
