Sold just got acquired by Dropbox and closed their company

Can anyone comment on the motivation for Dropbox to acquire a company that apparently helped people sell things? Is Dropbox interested in working in that domain or are they just picking up devs for their own product?

I think they are trying to ramp up their mobile efforts. My friends company was recently acquired by them, and it was for this reason.

I am also wondering. Sold and dropbox don't look related to each other at all!
