Case Study: Penn Masala achieves seamless remote collaboration and organization with Dropbox

How an a cappella group stays in sync with Dropbox Pro

Penn Masala is a student-run South Asian a cappella group from the University of Pennsylvania with a busy performance and recording schedule — including a role in Pitch Perfect 2 — but frequent member turnover and remote collaborations made staying organized and in sync difficult. The group needed a simple way to share rehearsal tracks, studio takes, promo materials, and administrative documents so members could prepare, producers could collaborate, and promoters could get what they needed quickly.

Using Dropbox Pro with shared folders for music, marketing, administration, and academics solved that problem: the studio uploads multi-version song files, members stream rehearsal tracks on mobile, remote artists exchange stems, and promoters receive a single link to press materials. The result is smoother recording and mixing, faster booking and prep, reliable continuity despite changing membership, and successful remote collaborations and performances on major stages and film.
