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.
"The Bump team has demonstrated a strong ability to quickly build and develop products that users love, and we think they'll be a great fit at Google," Mountain View, California-based Google said in an emailed statement.
Bump is also based in Mountain View. 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 had said its namesake app was downloaded 125 million times. The Bump app was launched more than four years ago.
