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.
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.
