Google buys photo backup app Odysee to bolster Google+
Google has purchased photo backup firm Odysee for an undisclosed sum in a move designed to bolster Google+.
The search giant has integrated the mobile app within its Google+ team following the Odysee Android and iOS apps being removed from digital stores.
An Odysee statement read: "We are excited to share that the Odysee Platform Team will be joining the Google+ team. 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 Odysee service will run as a separate entity to Google until 23 February whereupon users will be able to download all their images in a single archive file.
