Sync, upload, and selected-file context

Guidelines

Do

  • Make ownership, safety, sync, and sharing states explicit in labels.
  • Keep primary actions close to the file or plan decision they serve.
  • Use previews as context, not as noisy decoration.
  • Let upload, progress, and recovery states remain understandable in dark mode.

Don't

  • ×Do not invent a full file-management dashboard in a small specimen.
  • ×Do not use Dropbox marks, logos, customer images, or copied screenshots.
  • ×Do not hide plan differences in color or hover-only affordances.
  • ×Do not use blue for every state; reserve it for action and selection.

Imagery

Use original document thumbnails, abstract file previews, folder geometry, and soft blue surfaces. Do not reuse Dropbox logos, customer photography, production screenshots, or proprietary file previews.

Layout

Lead with a centered trust-and-content hero, then use plan cards, file safety proof, sync/share panels, and a content grid. Preserve a single-column reading order below 900px.

Concept

A complete visual language, ready to inspect.

Use the file tree to move between the full reference preview, implementation guidance, portable tokens, and framework-ready styles. Each surface stays focused, so you can understand the system before copying code.
