Dropbox raised $250 million on a $4 billion valuation in 2011, and according to CEO Drew Houston they haven’t had to spend much of that money.
Dropbox has 200 million users and over four million businesses are using it in some way. A year ago, the company had 100 million users and over two million businesses using it.
Today, more than 97% of the Fortune 500 are on Dropbox and they expects to have 100% growth next year too!
Use Dropbox as the preferences storage and as you make changes to settings on one computer, those settings also get updated on your other computers.
Not all apps let you store preferences in Dropbox, but some notable ones do, including 1Password, the Powerpack, and Quickoffice Pro. Once you get used to it, you’ll wonder why more apps don’t support this great feature.
