Dropbox announced Friday it has inked a deal to acquire Orchestra, owner of the popular Mailbox iOS email app that aims to help users with crowded in-boxes simplify their lives. The Mailbox app’s 14-person team will join Dropbox, but will continue to develop separately as its own app. Though new to the scene, Mailbox had enjoyed relatively early success in the market. Just one week after its beta release, the team had a waiting list of more than 700,000 consumers queuing up for access to the app.
