Please just don't use the bouncing ball that Dropbox made me use once. It was the first time my lack of athleticism prevented me from a signing in.

I’ve not heard of this one before. Wouldn’t it cause serious problems for accessibility?

What is that? This comment is the first Google result for dropbox bouncing ball.

I tried from finding it myself, and I've only seen it once. I was logging into Dropbox via Chrome on my Android phone, and I must have done something to trigger captcha spambot hell. I just tried triggering it again and was not able to do so.

The ball had an animal in it and I was asked to bounce the ball, causing it to rotate. I had to bounce the ball with just enough force to get it to land so the animal was positioned upright. After several failed attempts, I gave up.
