Google buys file transfer app
Published 5:00 am Tuesday, September 17, 2013
Google Inc. has acquired Bump, the maker of a smartphone app that allows users to share files by bumping devices together.
The two companies did not release financial terms of the deal.
In a blog post announcing the acquisition Monday, Bump CEO David Lieb said the company’s apps, which also include a photo-sharing service, Flock, will keep working for now.
In a blog post from late March, Bump said its namesake app was downloaded 125 million times.
The Bump app was launched more than four years ago.
