Lessons Learned from Dropbox

by Didier 3. May 2010 07:17

I am a “happy user” of Dropbox as early adopter since 2008. We are also using Dropbox intensively at Innoveo since 2009. A really cool service and tool when you have to deal with different computers (notebook, netbook, iPhone for me). If you don’t know Dropbox, you should have a try!

Dropbox is a very young company and tool. Drew Houston, co-founder and CEO of Dropbox, has published a “worth-a-read” presentation about some Lessons Learnt they have done. No rocket science, a lot of common sense, but as usual, "everything is in the implementation" ;-)

Some data about Dropbox /

  • founded in 2007, launched in 2008
  • 1 million users 7 months after launch
  • Sept 2008: 100'000 registered users, Jan 2010 (15 months): 4 million users
  • Monthly growth: 15-20%
