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.

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 said that its namesake app was downloaded 125 million times. The Bump app was launched more than four years ago.
