Box has become a major player in the tech world since its launch some six years ago. The company, which provides cloud data storage and enterprise collaboration tools, has more than doubled its headcount in the past year alone to a staff of more than 400, attracted more than $150 million in venture capital, and currently counts more than 80 percent of the Fortune 500 as customers. But it's not time for Box to rest easy just yet: Google is widely understood to finally be on the brink of launching its own long-rumored file storage service, Google Drive.But according to Box co-founder and CEO Aaron Levie, he is just fine with the impending arrival of a new big-name competitor. In an interview held this week at Box's Silicon Valley headquarters (which you can watch in the video embedded above), Levie said that Google will no doubt make a splash with the launch of GDrive. But he's confident that Box's singular focus on cloud storage will keep many users, and particularly paying customers such as companies, choosing it over its larger competitors.
