Unusual nonprofit situation needing developer assistance......

Hello, I run a small nonprofit here in Kansas. I had unfortunate event in that my home/office/agency just lost everything, including all doc/digital files in a total loss flood. So while I try to remain and maintain this agency as CEO, I am trying to get us afloat in some type of Cloud situation - where I can have a programmer program all of my needed applications into your DBX platform. It seems your platform goes above just application handling, but I don't understand it.

Since we are in ruin financially at present, I simply wanted to know if 1 or 2 developers would be willing to donate their computer coding/code/HTML knowledge to get what I need programmed into your DBX Cloud? Or I am willing to work with a team of your developers/programmers. Whatever it takes to get this all to fly again, I am willing to do anything that I can.

Since I am a nonprofit, I will reimburse those persons and Dropbox via the IRS tax donation/deducation that I can legally give as a 501c3 nonprofit charity. This will be a fairly sizeable project and will lead into probably a bit of web design/coding - my site is totally down - all files lost. My domain is www.design55.org. Before I get that going again, I also need to secure a decent web/email hosting service.

I am hard of hearing plus I know that you all have much more to do than to deal with me, so as your time allows, please email me direct, erik@design55.org and text me if you would on 785 551 1333. I am good at keeping a good communication flow going that way simply because in this business I am on the run all the time, all day, sometimes 7 days/week.

Finally, I have to commend you all on your excellent work. I cannot believe how Dropbox Business has taken off like a rocket really - I know so many people that are nuts over all your services now.

I look forward to your responses,

Erik

    Hi Erik, I'm very sorry to hear about the trouble you've experienced.

    Dropbox doesn't offer the sort of development assistance you're looking for here, but I'm sending this along to the team as feedback in case it's the kind of thing Dropbox can work on in the future.

    I know there are some third party developers on this forum though, so hopefully someone here would be available and interested and reach out to you for this.
