Since its launch in 2007, cloud-storage service Dropbox has made in-office collaboration a breeze for millions of businesses across the country, and that spirit of teamwork radiates throughout the 1,500-person company's San Francisco headquarters. The space, designed by Rapt Studio, features a chic library, designated brainstorm areas, a rec room full of musical instruments and a massive commissary serving up delicious food -- with an emphasis on cupcakes. In fact, "cupcake" doubles as an official company value, one that signifies a playful work culture. And they don't mess around: One quick tour through the ultra-collaborative space and you'll witness so much "cupcake," you'll leave with a toothache.
