The company is now accepting applicants for various positions, in which 30 to 40 people are expected to be recruited early next year, with the comapny seeking to hire multi-lingual sales teams, account management and user operations staff.
Dropbox is also aiming to double the number of its employees, on its second year of operation in Dublin City.
