Case Study: Khan Academy builds a global classroom and streamlines collaboration with Dropbox for Business

Khan Academy builds a global classroom with help from Dropbox for Business

Khan Academy, the nonprofit that provides free online lessons to millions of learners worldwide, faced growing pains as its team and content library expanded. Relying on email and external hard drives made it hard to share large files, manage versions, and keep materials organized, so the organization needed a scalable, centralized file‑sharing solution.

By adopting Dropbox for Business, Khan Academy centralized videos, event media, HR and administrative docs, and grant materials in one accessible repository with remote access, easy large‑file sharing, and version history. The change streamlined event and grant workflows, removed dependence on physical drives and FTP/email attachments, reduced staff anxiety, and made collaboration with external partners faster and more reliable.
