š³ļø How Dropbox Achieved 4000% User Growth
š A growth case study about principles applied in 2009 that still hold valid in 2024.

š Hi there - itās Egemen. Thanks for reading Scalable.
Iāve had a deep dive into the early days of āsocial internetā lately.
Going back to 2008-2009, Facebookās just becoming āthe thingā. Twitterās actually trending and fresh. There are no stories. No snaps. Not even influencers or paid marketing platforms to reach out to the mass millions globally.
Then I started wondering, how did startups - who achieved incredible growth at the time - did that?
I came across Dropboxās story.
Now, Iām not going to just share āwhat happenedā, but also where the company is today.
There are some principles here that still hold valid today - and if youāre struggling with organic growth, you should definitely read through this.
