Dropbox Statistics and User Count (2023)
Last Updated on: March 9th, 2023
Dropbox is a cloud-based file hosting and sharing service that was launched in 2007. The company is based in San Francisco, California, and offers a range of services that allow users to store, sync, and share files across multiple devices and platforms.
With Dropbox, users can store files such as documents, photos, and videos on the cloud and access them from anywhere with an internet connection. The service offers automatic synchronization between devices, so changes made to a file on one device will be reflected on all other devices where the file is stored. Dropbox also offers backup and recovery features to protect files in case of data loss or system failure.
Dropbox is designed to be user-friendly and intuitive, with a simple drag-and-drop interface and the ability to share files and folders with other users. The service offers a range of plans, including a free plan with limited storage capacity and paid plans with more features and storage space.
In addition to its core file hosting and sharing services, Dropbox also offers a range of other products and services, including Dropbox Paper (a collaborative document editing tool), Dropbox Showcase (a platform for sharing and presenting work), and Dropbox Passwords (a password management tool).

Please note that some of these numbers are easier to find than others. A few of these Dropbox statistics come from their own reports, but some are based on news reports and not official company tallies. No information contained on DMR should be relied upon to make investment decisions. Basically, this is the best I can find and I don’t guarantee anything to be 100%.
