In a recent interview with Bloomberg, Dropbox CEO Drew Houston briefly touched upon the company’s estimated ten billion dollar valuation, providing some interesting insight into what the future might hold for the digital storage behemoth. In response to a question concerning how the startup would grow its business, Houston replied,

“What we think about is, Dropbox is moving from keeping your files in sync to keeping your team in sync”

In light of that statement, I’m going to go over three reasons why a Slack acquisition on Dropbox’s behalf would be a good fit and unlock tremendous value for both companies. Although I do not think Slack is looking for a sale or an acquisition any time soon, the question begs to be tackled; Is a Dropbox /Slack merger deal a good idea?
