It doesn’t look like anyone has to worry about Condoleezza Rice being driven out of her position on Dropbox’s board. Lefties like Mark Ruffalo might be threatening to leave the service, but Dropbox is standing behind its choice, issuing a statement Friday on the company’s blog.

There’s nothing more important to us than keeping your stuff safe and secure. It’s why we’ve been fighting for transparency and government surveillance reform, and why we’ve been vocal and public with our principles and values.
We should have been clearer that none of this is going to change with Dr. Rice’s appointment to our Board. Our commitment to your rights and your privacy is at the heart of every decision we make, and this will continue.
We’re honored to have Dr. Rice join our board — she brings an incredible amount of experience and insight into international markets and the dynamics that define them. As we continue to expand into new countries, we need that type of insight to help us reach new users and defend their rights. Dr. Rice understands our stance on these issues and fully supports our commitments to our users.

I'm keeping my @Dropbox account. The #DropDropbox movement is insanity and intolerance at its worst.

@Dropbox please do not remove @CondoleezzaRice or I will have to drop you. Stay out of the liberal politics. She's the right woman for job!

Glad to see @Dropbox sticking with Condi Rice—for now. #Kudos! If they cave and pull a Brendan Eich, I won't think twice about dumping them.

@Dropbox Thank you for not caving to #liberal bullies.

@Dropbox love dropbox. Have a backbone and stand by your choice. And she's not a war criminal because some faceless coward on twitter says

Not surprised misogyny, coupled with racism, is alive and well when it comes to a strong, smart Republican woman. #condoleezzarice @Dropbox

People need to chill. @Dropbox having Rice on the board is not the end of the world. It will help them grow their business.

@Dropbox You have a great service. Rice is a great choice. Stay the course.
