The story
Dropsuite began development under the name Dropmysite in September 2011 when John Fearon’s business website needed a backup solution and he couldn’t find a service that met his needs. 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 local offices in the US, Singapore, Japan and India. It has entered into partnership with Xpress Hosting, a web-hosting company in Mexico for getting access to 100,000 customers and 500,000 domains.
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. On December 29, 2016, the year it was renamed Dropsuite, the company went public on the Australia Securities Exchange via a backdoor listing (ASX:DSE).
On October 22, 2018, a year after entering into a distribution agreement with Ingram Micro, it entered into a cloud distribution partnership with Pax8. In 2019, DSD Europe announced a partnership with Dropsuite and is adding Dropsuite’s Microsoft Office 365 Cloud backup and email backup to their cloud backup services.
In January 2025, NinjaOne announced the intended acquisition of Dropsuite, subject to shareholder and regulatory approval, for a total of about $252 million (USD). In June, NinjaOne reported having completed the purchase of the firm for $270 million (USD).
