Dropbox Acquires Mailbox Email App

This news was published on the blog of Dropbox:

Today we’re really excited to welcome the
Mailbox team to Dropbox.

Like many of you, when we discovered
Mailbox we fell in love-it was simple, delightful, and beautifully engineered.
Many have promised to help us with our overflowing inboxes, but the Mailbox
team actually delivered.

After spending time with Gentry, Scott, and
the team, it became clear that their calling was the same as ours at Dropbox-to
solve life’s hidden problems and re-imagine the things we do every day. We all
quickly realized that together we could save millions of people a lot of pain.

Dropbox doesn’t replace your folders or
your HDD: it makes them better. The same is true with Mailbox. It doesn’t
replace your email: it makes it better. Whether it’s your Dropbox or your
Mailbox, we want to find ways to simplify your life.

We’re all looking forward to making
Mailbox even better and getting it into as many people’s hands as possible.
There’s so much to do and we’re excited to get started!
