Google has acquired private and offline photo sharing app Odysee (Nimbuz Inc.) for an undisclosed amount.

The app, available for iOS and Android, allows users to back up photos from their phone to their desktop, among other features.

As part of the deal the Obysee photo saving and sharing service will shut down February 23rd, and the Odysee team will join the Google+ team. Techcrunch reports the acquisition may be a talent buy, and that the team will be used to boost Google+ photo services, or that alternatively Google may be considering a new photo sharing service that’s related to Google+.

The Odysee team said in a statement on their site that they were “xcited to share that the Odysee Platform Team will be joining the Google+ Team,” and that “Odysee’s vision was to be the easiest way for everyone to capture unlimited memories and access them everywhere. We are very excited to join Google where we’ll continue to focus on building amazing products that people love.”

The company noted that all photos and videos will be available as a downloadable archive.

Founded in 2011, Odysee raised one seed round in August 2013 of $761,800. Investors included Ed Han, Alex Shubat, and others.
