Understanding Badges: What They Are and How to Earn Them

If you’re a regular on the Dropbox Community, or even if you’re here for the very first time, chances are you’ve already received one of our badges 🏅.

If not, earning one is easy! Simply start a post or jump into an existing thread to share your thoughts, ideas, or questions 💡. Every contribution helps make our community even more engaging and inspiring 🌟.

What are badges? 

Badges are our way of saying a big thank you for being an active part of our Community and helping to make it such a friendly, helpful place for everyone. To start off with, they’re pretty easy to collect - just by joining conversations, asking questions or lending a hand, you’ll start earning them in no time! But as you climb the ranks and continue to contribute, the challenges grow a little tougher. Only our most dedicated community members manage to collect them all 🏆 ... and hey, we love celebrating their achievements! 🎉

How to earn badges?

Getting started with badges is easy - they’re all about celebrating your participation and the positive impact you make in our community 💬.

You can earn badges for all kinds of activities … starting conversations, replying to threads, giving and getting likes, having answers accepted as solutions, using tags, and a whole lot more! 🌟

We’ve also got some special badges like the Community Member of the Month badge (and the Mighty Answer badge, )  awarded to those who go above and beyond to make the Community a better place. 

Check out the table below to see exactly how you can earn yourself an awesome badge collection.
