Alphabet’s(NASDAQ:GOOG,GOOGL) Google is looking to pick up Elastifile to beef  up its cloud offerings. This will have the company becoming part of Google Cloud once the deal is complete.

According to Google, it is expecting the acquisition offer for Elastifile to close sometime later this year. What is unknown are the finer details of the deal. Google doesn’t provide any type of financial information in relation to the offer.
