It arguably revolutionized cloud storage and syncing, famously turned down an acquisition offer from Steve Jobs and Apple, and now Dropbox is ready to host its first developer conference. DBX, as the event will be known, takes place Tuesday, July 9th at San Francisco’s Fort Mason Center and aims to bring developers together to further advance third-party support for the cloud platform.
Mark your calendars! This summer, the Dropbox community will come together on July 9 for a day of creativity and exploration at San Francisco’s Fort Mason. At DBX, you’ll meet fellow developers, see the great things they’re building, and share ideas with the engineers and designers working on Dropbox’s API. But most importantly, you’ll be the first to learn about new products that will make developing on Dropbox even easier.
Since its introduction in 2008, Dropbox has grown significantly to over 100 million users. The service offers free and paid syncing of data between computers and devices of nearly all platforms. More recently, the company introduced photo sharing and online document viewing, allowing users to share content with friends, family, and coworkers without the need to install additional software.
Numerous third-party applications have tied into Dropbox to provide data and setting synchronization between devices. With DBX, the company hopes to encourage further development with the use of new APIs.
Interested developers can request a ticket to the event, which are priced at $350. While standard Dropbox users almost certainly won’t find DBX worth the cost, everyone who uses the service should be eager to see what new apps and features are born from it.
