Earlier today, Dropbox announced that they bought Mailbox from Orchestra. The price that Dropbox paid was undisclosed, but new evaluations of Mailbox say that they could have paid around $100 million to get the app.
Drew Houston, Dropbox CEO, said that they bought the app so they would be able to reach a much different type of audience faster. Was this all an act in trying to get more advertising? Who knows, but we do know that they spend a lot of money doing so.
