Unless a company is actively hurting people, I'm going to choose what I use based on the quality of the product, not on a board member's past. Maybe they determined that a hardened political voice would balance them out in the boardroom. Maybe they need someone there to play the devil's advocate in an industry that can be extraordinarily narcissistic.
When looking to grow our board, we sought out a leader who could help us expand our global footprint. Condoleezza sure left a global footprint in the Middle East alright. Hate do this Dropbox, but time for me to move on. Edit: Suggestions for a Dropbox substitute?

That said, I don't agree with the author. She may have made bad decisions in politics, but I don't see the relevance to a tech company.
Weren't John Kerry and Hillary Clinton arguably equally responsible for any war that Condy supported? The voted for the funds that made it possible, how is that less responsible for the results?
I didn't know they were on the board of directors of Dropbox. Very interesting. Yes: a large percentage of the politicians in power today are responsible for the heinous crimes against humanity being committed, even yet daily, in the name of the American people - and YES, you SHOULD hold them accountable, since - as an American - you, yourself, are also responsible for the heinous actions of your nation state.
brb, dropping Dropbox...

Sadly, most Americans don't hold themselves responsible for the actions of our duly elected leaders. It's how we sleep at night. brb, dropping Dropbox...
Something is going to have to change, sooner or later. I hope its for the better, but I doubt it will be.
