News circulated in November that Dropbox was hunting for investors and a valuation of at least $8 billion. This wasn't the first time Dropbox did so. In 2011, rumors swirled about a massive round Dropbox was raising. Back then it was rumored to be getting offers at an $8 billion valuation and then it was said to be at $5 billion. In the end, its valuation was $4 billion.
Dropbox had sales of more than $200 million in 2013, the WSJ reports.
The company has over 200 million users and 4 million businesses, it says, and has recently expanded its service to software developers, asking them to write more apps that use Dropbox.
