"Dropbox, the popular file storage service, has raised another $325 million in funding with the possibility of boosting that amount to $450 million, according to an SEC filing.\nThe latest funding round had been rumored for a few months, but the amount comes in at the higher end of the range that had been reported. One report last month said Dropbox was raising $250 million at a $10 billion valuation; another report said the amount could be as much as $400 million. \nSee also: 8 Tech Companies That May Go Public in 2014\nFortune reports hearing from an unnamed source that the total amount raised in the round to date is slightly higher, at $350 million, still at a $10 billion valuation. \nThe funding gives Dropbox more ammunition as it competes against new and established rivals like Box, Amazon and Microsoft both in terms of talent and marketing. Dropbox recently announced plans to expand its office space, suggesting plans to ramp up its staff. \nDropbox previously raised $250 million in a Series B funding round in 2011, which reportedly valued the company at $4 billion. The five-year-old startup is one of several tech companies likely to go public in the near future.\nHave something to add to this story?
