Sounds like a reasonable guess.

Dropbox apparently uses Go a lot, see e.g. https://about.sourcegraph.com/go/go-reliability-and-durabili...

They also use Rust for some performance-critical stuff, e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11282948

That being said, AFAIK originally Dropbox was written mostly in python. Probably there's still lots of that left.

This is also borne out by the fact that they mention Celery.
