Box
It started as a college kid's fix for a boring problem: where do you put your files? Two decades later, Box holds the paperwork for most of the Fortune 500 - and is teaching that paperwork to think.
Panzura
Panzura is an enterprise hybrid cloud data management company whose flagship CloudFS turns object storage into a single, global file system - letting distributed teams edit the same files across continents as if they were sitting in the same office. Paired with its Symphony data services platform and the newer Nexus AI connector, Panzura consolidates sprawling unstructured data, defends it against ransomware with immutable storage, and is now positioning that data to feed enterprise AI tools like Microsoft 365 Copilot.
Dropbox
Dropbox is the company that made 'just put it in my Dropbox' a sentence everyone understood. Founded in 2007 after Drew Houston got tired of forgetting his USB drive, it turned file sync into a verb and grew into a content-collaboration platform used by roughly 700 million registered users and about 18 million paying subscribers. Today the San Francisco company, public on the Nasdaq as DBX with about $2.5 billion in annual revenue, is betting its next chapter on Dash, an AI-powered universal search layer that hunts across every app where your work actually lives.
