Dropbox Acquires Recently-Launched Email App Mailbox !

Is it a good service or not?

 

Dropbox announced that it has acquired email app Mailbox . Like many of you, when we discovered Mailbox we fell in love-it was simple, delightful, and beautifully engineered," 
 

One reason Dropbox may have been interested in Mailbox is because people often use Dropbox instead of attaching large files to emails. Gmail recently rolled out a feature that lets users attach files to emails seamlessly using Google Drive, which arguably reduces the usefulness of Dropbox since you have to visit another site to access your files. 

While there are no signs that Dropbox will announce its own email service, receiving Dropbox attachments inside messages from Mailbox users could be both smart and easy marketing.

Or maybe Dropbox is just eager to bring new, design-focused, cloud-centric companies into the fold. The developer says that 60 million emails are going in and out per day, and the company’s service capacity has grown 2,000x.
