The post does not give a price or a closing timeline for the deal. It also links to a longer article on TheNewStack's site about the acquisition.

AI-assisted summary based on the listed source.
@thenewstack reports that Dropbox ditched AWS S3 for its own in-house system and is now buying Tigris to sell S3-compatible storage to AI developers. The post does not list a price or a closing timeline. Why it matters: Dropbox is turning a storage acquisition into a way to sell object storage to AI builders...
AI builders who use S3-compatible storage could gain another option outside Amazon if Dropbox follows through with the planned offering. For Dropbox, the deal would turn an internal storage change into a product aimed at developers. Next to watch are the deal price, closing terms, and product details, none of which the post provides.
