Box is planning a hiring spree to increase its staff to 1,000 and is expecting to go public in 2014.
According to Bloomberg, the Los Altos company said it is "investing in growth" in 2013, which pushed the IPO plans back.
CEO Aaron Levie told Bloomberg that the company plans to grow from about 670 employees to 1,000 as it expands in places like Japan, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Brazil and Australia. That includes " a half-dozen executives for senior management roles, including an international chief."
Box also just moved 100 sales employees into a new San Francisco office, according to the report.
