Houston released a video regarding the idea, his college mate Arash Ferdowsi being one of the viewers of it. At first, he started working on the project for his personal use, but then he realised that the product could benefit other people too. So he conceived the idea of creating a cloud-based system for keeping the files in it. At the time he was frustrated with his habit of forgetting and losing those USB flash drives all the time. He wrote the first line of code for Dropbox, while he was travelling on a bus, as he had forgotten his USB drive. Houston was still in college when he thought of developing Dropbox. In 1990, he entered the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from where he earned a graduate degree in Computer Science.Īlong with an offer for a job at the early age of 14, he had also been a part of many startups including Bit9, Accolade and Hubspot. At the age of 14, while playing a video game, on his father’s Pcjr computer, he found a bug in the game and reported to the video game company, upon which he was offered a job at the same company. But as soon his father introduced him with programming, his focus diverted towards the computers. Initially, he was influenced by video games and had decided that he would become a video game tester. Houston was a student at the Acton-Boxborough Regional High School. Houston was born on 4 March 1983, in Acton, Massachusetts.
