Together with the launch of Dropbox Spaces, we’re making great progress towards building the world's first smart workspace where people can focus on the work that matters.”
The company’s revenue rose 19% to $428.20 million in the third quarter. This was the seventh straight quarter of sales beat since the company went public in March 2018.
