CloudMe Updates Desktop Software to Blur Line Between Online and Local Storage

CloudMe AB announced an update to its desktop application for Windows, Mac and Linux.

The intention has been to blur the line between the online service and its desktop software. View folders synced to the local computer as easy as folders only available in the cloud. Further any folder shared may be viewed in the cloud without syncing to a computer or requiring an account. The desktop application presents the state of all your computers and the cloud in an integrated view, instead of only being a tool for keeping files up to date in a single folder. 

It allows configuring any folder to be synced or shared to the computers and devices of choice. Even though a folder is not synced, it will be available from the user interface, and its contents can be brought up in a web browser by double clicking it.

“CloudMe has taken many steps forward with this release and further distinguishes itself from the competition with a real desktop user interface and great capabilities to also access content only available in the cloud – in some aspects it almost feels like using a new service,” says Daniel Arthursson, founder and CEO, CloudMe 

The company provides a european cloud service for syncing files between computers, smartphones and tablets. It is designed for people that expect a little bit more of cloud services, values privacy and wants their files stored within the European Union – enjoying its jurisdiction and data protection laws.
