ZumoDrive, Virtually Unlimited Storage
If you’re into cloud computing, you understand the importance of hard drive real estate and getting files on the go. In the past year more companies are even utilizing cloud concepts to save on expenses. As such, we’ve become accustomed to virtual networks that have linked our personal and professional life together for easier access.
Enter ZumoDrive, which just beta launched on January 16th! This amazing application is set up to function as a syncing system for your files in the cloud. Other related applications all offer various formats for syncing, but essentially do the same thing. ZumoDrive takes what you know to a whole new level and makes virtual connections to the cloud that much more worthwhile!
The Good!
Storage and space are always big issues for your devices. Perhaps not so much on your desktop, but on your mobile devices anything you can do to prevent capping the storage is a good thing. ZumoDrive works in such a way that it tricks the system into thinking that the file is native on the device you are accessing from, basically creating a virtual drive. You are then able to stream your music, watch your videos, work on documents all from your device without having to download the document onto your device.
The concept is made even more enticing by the fact that the application becomes intuitive based on the types of files you regularly access. These files are made ready for instant access from a favorites menu to save you time. The application can even find similar files that it might think you will need in reference to what you are working with.
The Bad!
ZumoDrive offers a price range that users have commented on being high with less total storage capacities. While this might be so, it appears that the offerings are far superior to their competitors. I’m not sure how this will all shake out, but ultimately, this is the only con to this application according to users and readers.
Stay tuned for an iPhone application that will further extend ZumoDrive’s popularity amongst those mobile users!
