DropBox to Capitalize on India’s Corporate Cloud Storage Needs

DropBox, Inc. is known as a handy method of backing up your personal files quickly and securely. DropBox has grown to become a billion dollar enterprise using this simple concept of cloud storage. Now the company is looking to mature and become the premier cloud storage solution for large corporations around the world.

India seems like it would be the next likely frontier for the flourishing cloud file storage company. India is home to a sprawling technical community and many companies around the world have a branch of their company in India. With all of the coding, documentation and contracted work that are performed inside of India, a cloud storage option like DropBox tends to make a lot of sense for both small and large businesses.

DropBox is planning on opening their first AsiaPac office in the first part of 2014. The sales teams at DropBox plan on concentrating on this part of the world where the concept of the cloud may still be fresh at the corporate level. Companies inside of India may be familiar with the cloud but whether or not they are actually using it still up for debate. These tech companies are looking for a scalable solution that works in favor of the customer, client and security of the organization. DropBox feels like it has the solution and it is ready to provide the popular file storage platform to corporate users in this part of the world.

DropBox has built an $8 billion business on the simple concept of storing files in the cloud. Steve Jobs famously said that he wanted to put DropBox out of business and tried to compete directly with the company by starting iCloud. DropBox has endured the ups and downs while becoming a universal solution for consumers. If DropBox can shatter the glass ceiling of providing public, private and secured cloud file storage to businesses all around the world, the company could beat everyone’s expectations and grow to be one of the most admired technical start-ups of the 21st century.
