Dropbox Codesignal Assessment
I have a Codesignal Assessment to do for Dropbox.
The way I plan on prepping is to go through as many of Dropbox's questions on Leetcode as possible (there are only 25 for all time) and to look over Glassdoor. This is the standard approach and I think it works well here.
My small concern is that since this is a Codesignal Assessment, it's going to be more real-life-like and less Leetcode-y. I don't believe there's any way I can tweak my study, so I still think the standard approach is the optimal approach.
Can people confirm and offer their thoughts?
Thanks!

I'm not familiar with Codesignal but if the interview is focused on pair programming instead of Leetcode, then I'd:
- Make sure you know shortcuts or boilerplate code you can quickly use. Time is of the essence on the interview.
- Take a contrived app and build that 5-6 times. (Yes, literally build it from scratch each time.) This will help you build from zero which is what I imagine the interview will test, and this is a huge confidence boost.

It involved building out a bank transaction system. It was necessarily hard, but speed is really important.

Looks like you need to build a text editor? I would see if you can get more information from the recruiter though as this Reddit thread is a bit old.
