Dropbox will establish an office in Dublin, Ireland, that will serve as the center of the company’s international operations.

The initial goal of Dropbox’s Dublin office is to hire for a variety of positions, including multi-lingual sales teams, account management and user operations staff, all of which will provide targeted support  to Dropbox users in Europe.

Dropbox has more than 100 million users in over 200 countries, according to the company.

“As part of Ireland’s mission to become the best small country in the world for business we have become the European hub for many of the world’s leading digital companies, and the arrival of a top cloud company like Dropbox indicates Dublin’s growing capacity to usher in the next generation of internet companies,” said An Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Mr. Enda Kenny TD.
