Mailbox Acquired by Drobox

I’ve been using the Mailbox app since I made my way through their signup queue. I absolutely love the concept and execution of the app. It’s not the only email application I use, but it’s my front end to addressing the email I receive. I can’t wait for iPad and desktop solutions to be created. I’d also love the app to work with email accounts other than Gmail. Especially in light of yesterdays cancellation of Google Reader by Google. I’d like to remove Google from my life entirely, but right now I’m relying on Google for all my email accounts.

Today, the folks at Mailbox have announced that they’ve been aquired by Dropbox. I love that Dropbox has a sustainable business model that gives users a free taste of their service, but then allows me the opportunity to pay them money for expanded services. I’m excited that Dropbox is now invloved with Mailbox and hopefull that there will be amazing integration between the two services for storing and sharing email attachements.
