The online storage startup Mozy has just launched their iPhone application. Mozy users will now be able to access their files on the go.
Users will login with their Mozy account and they can access all the files they have backup using the client software. Opening the app shows you the names of any computers you’ve backed up. You tap on a computer to view your files.
The Mozy iPhone application runs off the same folder structure as the client, but it would have been nice to see the files I had backed up.
Users can view everything from Word documents to PDFs and music. You can also e-mail documents, photos, and other files and even post a photo directly to Facebook. To provide an extra layer of security, Mozy also lets you set up a pass code to open the app.
Approaching the end of another year, perhaps you’ve not had the time to think about the security of your data. Too often many of us simply rely on our physical hard drive space, unaware that if something happened one of two things would happen. First you’d either lose all of your data and have to start over, or secondly, you’d have to pay a hefty price to have the data scraped from the hard drive and placed on another hard drive or DVD. It’s a frustrating experience that I’ve been through a few times and I’m sure a lot of you out there can relate.
Since those times I’ve become a huge supporter of cloud storage, a place offsite that is safe from anything affecting my physical computer. Backing up my files is useful especially if you’ve got data that you cherish. It could be anything from important work documents to cherished family photos. Having a backup is vital is you want to ensure the longevity of your information and the team here at Crenk will share the top 4 online backups that you might want to consider as a new years resolution.
