I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Dropbox (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2014
Interview
The process was very straightforward, and one of the best I've gone through. There were 4 rounds total. The first was a pretty standard 30 minute in-person chat with two members of the Dropbox team (one senior and one currently in the DRP). After passing this round, I was sent a questionnaire to complete. The questionnaire contained questions about how I have used Dropbox, my work background, how I would respond to a few customer service inquiries, and what kind of metrics I would use to measure user engagement. After passing the questionnaire round, I was flown out to San Francisco for a day of interviews with different people in the company. During that day, I had 6 interviews total, each with 2 different people. Some of them were more casual than others, with one being a tour of the office (during which I was sat down and casually interviewed about my hobbies and interests). All in all, it was a pretty great experience, and even though I was not offered the position, I had a good time and left with a good impression of the company as a whole.

Interview
I had a really weird process with Dropbox. I ended up being able to interview for the rotation program after they had rejected me initially. There's an initial questionnaire, a phone presentation, and then the on-site in SF. The on-site was ok. 3 different interviewers: one woman from HR a pair of women from another team, and the last was a guy that was an alum from my university. I thought they went decently well, but didn't end up getting an offer. A little awk when they just shuffle you out of the office as soon as the interview ends.

Interview
I submitted my resume at a College Career Fair and heard back from DropBox within a week to schedule an on campus interview. After passing the interview I completed a DropBox challenge which hosted a series of questions, many of which can be found on Glassdoor from previous applicants. For the final round interview, I pitched an app integration concept to one member of the team and then spent the next 3 hours interviewing with 4 various sector of DropBox. The process was exhausting!

Interview
Applied March 2014, process took about 2 weeks.
Filled out the questionnaire "challenge" online, phone interview with a current member of the Rotation Program, was moved on to an on-site interview with a product integration pitch but it was canceled a few days before my flight because the positions were all filled.
They are very efficient! The process was quick and I always knew where I stood in the process. It would have been nice if they gave everyone an opportunity to interview on-site before selecting the class though!
