Dropbox announced earlier this week that they have acquired the iOS photo sharing app Loom. By May 16th Dropbox plans to merge the Loom team into their own Carousel team. Carousel is their photo product.

The collective photo offering will continue to offer customers storage for their photos and ways to preview photos in their Dropbox Carousel cloud without using their devices storage. Users will also be able to purchase photo storage in the cloud separate from their existing Dropbox accounts.

No worries for Loom’s current users, their photo storage plans will be converted to DropBox plans with the exact same amount of storage.

Jan Senderek, Loom’s co-founder and CEO said “We look forward to this transition as the next step in creating a home for all of your photos and videos, seamlessly organized, while still keeping them at your fingertips,”

For the Loom team, which had already grown a good user base, the merging with Dropbox means that they can divert the focus from scaling to implementing more features into the Carousel product. “We look forward to this transition as the next step in creating a home for all of your photos and videos, seamlessly organized, while still keeping them at your fingertips,” Senderek said.
