From humble beginnings in an apartment in 2006 to dominating the free cloud storage market in 2012 Dropbox have built and expanded on a business model that is proving to be extremely successful. The online market for storing, organising and sharing information between platforms and devices has never been more competitive but after receiving $250 million in funding last year they are now looking to be a dominate force in the market as larger technology players such as Google and IBM scramble to replicate their innovations.Below is an infographic looking at how they have grown and expanded in a mere 6 years from just 2 employees to 200 and over 50 million users, all on word of mouth advertising!
MIT graduate Drew Houston co-founded Dropbox back in 2006 when he got tired of keeping track of his USB flash drive. He knew there must be a faster, more convenient and safer way of not just storing data but also sharing it. Today Dropbox is one of the hottest tech start-ups around and is going from strength to strength so much that tech giants such as IBM and Google are playing catch up.
