ZumoDrive With New Mobile Apps for Palm and Android
After the iPhone one
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on March 25, 2010 at 3:06 pmZumoDrive announced ZumoDrive for Android and ZumoDrive for Palm Pre, building on the success of the company’s iPhone application. With these mobile apps, consumers now can access and play their music, video and photos without having to bother with cumbersome sync processes or take up precious disk space on their smartphones. ZumoDrive is now available on Mac, PC, Linux, iPhone, Android and Palm Pre platforms.
ZumoDrive’s ultra-thin file replication is an innovative approach to going beyond storage and backup to provide streaming access to music, video and photos at a moment’s notice. This approach lets consumers easily access and play their entire iTunes library on their phones even though the songs are not locally saved. Additionally, ZumoDrive changes the equation from manually saving files to a specific location to a more seamless system of designating folders to be linked to ZumoDrive. The files within these Linked Folders are automatically updated in ZumoDrive and available anywhere.
"Consumers today purchase and use more devices than ever, and they expect to access their content on all of them," said David Zhao, founder and CEO of ZumoDrive. "ZumoDrive unshackles our users’ content so they can enjoy it wherever and whenever they want, without worrying about syncing and downloading. With the new Android and Palm Pre applications, consumers can now access documents as well as share playlists or photo albums from even more mobile devices."

- Video streaming from ZumoDrive directly to the device in MP4, H.264 format
- Music playback of all songs
