[...] Dropbox is supported on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux, and now even has mobile applications, as well. Further, I have a special place in my heart for this service because I started using it almost 2 years ago, and it has acted as a file sharing and project management tool for my own startup’s internal operations at Parse.ly. I was therefore more than ecstatic to discover that this excellent tool and its smart founders had also made it through all of the hurdles necessary to get an early-stage company the financing it needs; they’ve raised over $7 million in financing and have over 3 million users.

Sorry that the headline confused folks. Maybe it's a dialect thing? I'll remember to be careful with the word "cross" in the future.

@JohnB I corrected the typo you saw in my bio. We'd just added that as I moved over to the GigaOM web beat and will be covering Facebook. It's meant to convey that I don't have a financial interest in the company.

クラウドバックアップ/同期サービスのDropbox、ユーザー数300万突破―ただし$6Mを調達は去年10月の話 — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 20:58:10 +0000

[...] 今日、GigaOmはDropboxがこの夏、$7.25M（725万ドル）の資金を調達したと報じた。GigaOmはこの数字をDropboxのSEC（証券取引委員会）への報告書から得たものだとしているが、同社CEOのDrew Houstonは否定した。われわれがHoustonに話を聞いてみたところ、「金額も違ってるし、時期も1年ずれている」とのこと。現実にはDropboxがシリーズAの資金調達に成功したのは昨年の10月で、幹事はSequoia（Accelではない。ただしAccelもAmidzadPartnersと共にラウンドには参加していた）、額は$6M（600万ドル）だったという。 [...]

Dropbox is great I use it regularly, the only thing that might make me switch is Ubuntu One, but I understand this is not a solution for everyone.

Vishal - you are totally right I was trying to figure out what they did to piss off the company 3M!

I had a 1 yr subscription to MobileMe (mac) and it never worked as well as the free service from Dropbox. I use Dropbox to sync all our family computers now and it works great. If anyone is interested in getting some free bonus storage feel free to use my dropbox referral link below…

Crosses 3M users is pretty simple and obvious. There is nothing ambiguous about it. I disagree with you on this one.

@Vishal, I second your remark on the ambiguous title.
