Dropbox just threw its chief competitor under the bus to prove its business is doing fine

Dropbox wants you to know its business is doing fine - so much so that it just threw its biggest competitor under the bus to make a point.

At its first-ever user conference called Dropbox Open on Wednesday, Dropbox CEO Drew Houston shared some updated numbers about its business.

Dropbox now has more than 400 million total users, and 8 million businesses using it in one form or another, he said.

Houston also pointed out Dropbox is seeing over 150,000 paying business customers now, of which 50,000 came in the last 10 months.

Houston made a point to stress that the 50,000 new paying business customer figure over the last 10 months is more than what some of its competitors have been able to sign up in its entire history.
