Code-cranking visionary Drew Houston (pronounced like the Manhattan street, “how-stun,” not like the Texas city) is attaching a rocket to the back of his San Francisco-based company Dropbox by launching a new product tailored for businesses to manage their professional and personnel information.
Dropbox first grew popular among college students who used it to store documents and access updated versions via the cloud, anywhere and from any device. After building a base of 200 million accounts, Houston is using the service’s mass appeal to market “Dropbox for Business” and compete with the likes of Google and Box, according to Jessica Guynn for the Los Angeles Times.
