Here are a few Dropbox statistics I was able to dig up so far. As with all of my stat posts, this one will be updated whenever I stumble on new and interesting stats. Be sure to subscribe to my site updates and/or check back regularly to see the latest Dropbox facts.
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 a decade later. It is one of the largest services of its kind and caters to a healthy mix of personal and enterprise user bases.
Here are a few of the more interesting Dropbox statistics I’ve stumbled across in my internet travels. I hope you find them helpful.
