Dropbox has 45 million users and $ 250 million investment

This week, the Dropbox file service received an 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.

Service management has already stated that Dropbox's revenue this year should be $ 240 million. This data was published here . By the way, competitor Dropbox, Box.net, also received investments, but a little less - $ 81 million. As already mentioned earlier, now all iOS Box.net users offer free 50 gigabytes of file space.

True, Box.net is not the main competitor of Dropbox. iCloud can be the main threat to Dropbox. By the way, in 2009, Apple offered to buy this company for a nine-digit amount, 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 company employees is 70 people. Not so much, especially considering the estimated cost of the service. Whatever it was, and the service is good, and probably many representatives of the hardware community work with Dropbox.
