Dropbox Inc. said it has 150,000 total business customers, in a bid to promote its position in an area where rivals are cutting into the cloud-storage provider’s lead.
The company added 50,000 paying business customers -- including News Corp. and Expedia Inc. -- in the past 10 months, Chief Executive Officer Drew Houston said at an event in San Francisco on Wednesday. He also announced a new product, called Dropbox Enterprise, targeted at large customers. Rival Box Inc., which held an initial public offering in January, has promoted itself as the top choice for large businesses.
