Dropbox has been in the news off late for a series of buying spree with photo management apps, reader, organisation and collaboration tool amongst the concluded deals. Dropbox is adding to its list of acquisition with the company announcing it has acquired Droptalk for an undisclosed sum.
Droptalk joins Zulip, Loom, Bubbli, Readmill and Hackpad as Dropbox’s line of startup acquisitions this year. The service allows users send links via Google Chrome extensions and also chat via their browser, phone and tablets.
In addition, it also let users see the real time feed of cloud storage as they are updated. Droptalk was also working on an iOS and Android App, has stopped new user registration and is set to shut down.
Founded over a year ago by Ex-Facebook and Linkedin staffs – Rakesh Mathur, Ash Bhardwaj, Anand Prakash, Manveer Chawla and Nirmesh Mehta; the messaging service was launched with the main aim of changing the way people communicate and get their activities done.
The Droptalk team would be joining Dropbox as part of the deal, and the acquisition certainly aligns with Dropbox’s goal of enabling its users to communicate with each other when using the cloud storage tool.
