Case Study: Foursquare achieves centralized file access and streamlined team collaboration with Dropbox for Teams

Foursquare - Customer Case Study

Foursquare, the location-based mobile app with more than 30 million users and a million merchants, outgrew its tight-knit startup routines as headcount and offices expanded to San Francisco, New York, and London. The distributed team needed a reliable, centralized way to create, organize, and share digital documents—many employees already used personal Dropbox accounts, but the company lacked a unified business solution.

By adopting Dropbox for Teams as the companywide file system, Foursquare centralized client and internal documents across sales, account management, legal, and design, made new-hire onboarding simple with shared folders, and ensured files are local on each machine and backed up regularly. The result was faster collaboration, reduced administrative overhead, and a single source of truth for critical information—if it isn’t in Dropbox, it effectively doesn’t exist.
