Our mission and passion for workplace collaboration remains the same. Our stage will grow dramatically as Dropbox builds on our technology to engage with its over 400 million users and 100,000 businesses.”
As for what they do, it consists of handling internal communication which includes chat services and conference calls. Of course, this type of communication does not require a phone number and is important given that people are connecting work services to personal devices.

Apart from that, it has also announced that the company now has more than 400 million registered users apart from redesigning its Android application. Also, it has recently launched a tool that helps users request files from those who are not using Dropbox.
As a result of this acquisition, Clementine will be closing down its services soon. The company found its humble beginnings in 2014.
The free part of the Clementine app will remain active for their current base of customers until the end of August, 2015.
