With a great deal of my stat posts over the years spotlighting social networks and ecommerce platforms, it is time to switch a little of the focus to digital services and what better a place to explore than cloud storage services. This has been an area of significant growth over recent years with quite a bit of room still to grow.
The first cloud storage stat post is for one of the largest services out there: Dropbox. Dropbox has been growing exponentially since its launch in 2007 and continues to impress seven years later. Here are a few of the more interesting Dropbox statistics I was able to dig up. As always, this list will surely grow over time, so be sure to check back regularly.
This Dropbox report is a digital collection of the most interesting statistics I have curated over the years as of March 2018. 31 of them including stats for:
- Dropbox Users
- Dropbox Customers
- Dropbox Activity
- Dropbox Revenue
- Etc.- all in one place
or get it in one of my report bundles:
Bundle 1: Cloud Storage Company Reports (Box, Dropbox and Amazon Web Services).
Please note that some of these numbers are easier to find than others. A few of these stats come from Dropbox’s own reports, but some are based on news reports and not official company tallies. Basically, this is the best I can find and I don’t guarantee anything to be 100% accurate.
