TechCrunch - It was just two weeks ago that fast-growing enterprise cloud storage company, Box, went out and acquired document embedding service and Y Combinator grad, Crocodoc. Apparently Aaron Levie sees what Yahoo is doing and he wants to show that Box is ready to do a little acquiring of its own.
Box CEO Aaron Levie set himself up with an interesting line to tow at BoxWorks, his company’s user conference being held at San Francisco’s Moscone Center this week.
Ten years ago, Yahoo and Google offered rapid creation of free file sharing and collaboration spaces — perfect for group papers, sports teams, families — in short, any group of people who needed to see a common, centralized set of files.
Box, once a clear-cut darling, has had a rough 2014. It delayed its IPO due to a softening SaaS stock market. Can Box weather these challenges and pull the entire EFSS market along with it?
