Company History

Fearon raised $300,000 in a first round of funding on a Singaporean television show called Angel’s Gate. In 2012, he created an email backup service called Dropmyemail. On October 31, 2013, Charif Elansari took over as CEO. In 2014, a smartphone backup service called Dropmymobile was launched.

Dropmysite has also announced partnerships with GMO Cloud and paperboy in Japan. On October 3, 2015, GoDaddy launched a cloud backup service for websites powered by Dropmysite.

In 2017, Dropsuite entered into a distribution agreement with Ingram Micro. On October 22, 2018, Dropsuite entered into a cloud distribution partnership with Pax8.
