How does Dropbox store files for those 200 million users, who store 1 billion files every 24 hours? The company uses more than uses more than 10,000 physical servers to manage user content, along with Amazon Web Services. Files stores in Dropbox can be easily shared, and are accessible through a web interface or mobile apps, with support for Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, iPad, Android and BlackBerry. The powerful growth of Dropbox has been driven by its ability to offer cloud file storage that can be easily synched between multiple devices, including desktop and mobile devices. Fong and other members of the Dropbox team described the company's infrastructure growth last week during a presentation at the O'Reilly Velocity 2013 conference. "The growth has been really immense, especially recently," said Andrew Fong, a Site Reliability Engineer at Dropbox. It took just 10 months to add the next 100 million.
