Dropbox founder Drew Houston wants to Sync files on all devices

LA Times – Dropbox is a service with the goal of being able instantly (and seamlessly) syncs all of your files on all of your devices.

Dropbox has more than 50 million users and adds another every second. It’s one of the fastest-growing companies Silicon Valley has ever seen. Both Apple’s Steve Jobs and Google’s Sergey Brin sounded out Houston about buying Dropbox.

But Houston says he’s determined to build the next Apple or Google, not sell out to them.

Dropbox has figured out an elegant solution to a vexing problem. With the explosion of smartphones and tablets, people have more devices and more apps than ever before. How can they get access to the latest version of all their stuff — photos, music, videos, documents, spreadsheets — no matter what device they are using and no matter where they are?
