October 21, 2011 at 11:34Dropbox has 45 million users and $ 250 million investment
This week, the Dropbox file service received additional investment of $ 250 million from investors. Actually, the service is developing, users continue to register, so investors can expect that the investment will pay off. Dropbox already has 45 million users saving about a billion files every three days.
The management of the service has already announced that Dropbox's revenue this year should be $ 240 million. These data were published here . By the way, Dropbox's rival, Box.net, also received investments, but a little less - $ 81 million. As previously written, now all users of iOS Box.net offers free 50 gigabytes of file space.
True, Box.net is not the main competitor of Dropbox. iCloud may be Dropbox's main threat. By the way, in 2009 Apple offered to buy this company for a nine-figure sum, but then the owners of Dropbox
refused. Now iCloud can really be a very dangerous competitor for this file storage service.
The current value of Dropbox is not called, but experts believe that it can not be less than 4 billion dollars. The total number of employees is 70 people. Not so much, especially when you consider the estimated cost of the service. Be that as it may, the service is good, and probably many representatives of the habrasociety are working with Dropbox.
