File sharing and cloud storage service
Dropbox has announced that it has
crossed the 300 million user mark. The
announcement comes just six months
after Dropbox had crossed the 200
million user mark in November. The 100
million user increase is also being
attributed to Dropbox now focusing on
rolling out more services, and improving
its offerings for business users.
It is interesting to document the quick
growth rate for Dropbox. Consider this,
back in November 2012 Dropbox had a
total of 100 million users. It took them
one year to reach the 200 million user
mark last year. Compared to that it has
taken only six months to cross the 300
million user mark now.
The official Dropbox blog just has a picture of door with the 100, 200, 300 million marks etched on the left side of the door frame. The blogpost is titled 'Thanks for helping us grow', with the caption 'New notch on the wall'.

For its phenomenal rise Dropbox seems
mostly to have its Dropbox for Business
service to thank. The shift towards a
more business-focused approach has
helped change the way it operates. It is
to be noted that according to Forbes
only around one percent of the users
were paying for Dropbox's service whilst
a majority of users were using it's free
two gigabyte storage plan.
Dropbox for Business has allowed users to maintain both personal and corporate accounts. In addition, Dropbox recently even acquired several new companies, such as the 3D photo app Bubbli, workplace chat solutions provider Zulip, as well as personal photo-stream app Loom and collaborative document tool Hackpad .

Apart from tweaking its Android and

announced the Carousel app - a cross-
device photo gallery for users who use
Dropbox for transferring images.
