Dropbox today announced a new milestone: Half a billion users. The company has thus added 100 million users over the last nine months — Dropbox passed the 400 million user milestone in June 2015.

These most recent 100 million users have come from all over the world, with Dropbox specifically calling out Brazilians, Indians, Brits, Germans, and Americans at the top of the list of new signups. The company further adds that this is the case for consumers as well as businesses: while Dropbox is U.S.-based, its users are part of “a truly global community.”

Dropbox also shared that its users have created 3.3 billion connections between each other, a 51 percent jump over the last year. Furthermore, 44 percent of new accounts were opened as a result of existing users introduced their friends, family, and coworkers to Dropbox.
