Backup
That Inc. a web-based
service leveraging personal email accounts to provide free storage
and file management, unveiled its updated platform.
It merges
file syncing and music streaming in one place. Users can upload
iTunes play lists for streaming on any computer, manage versions of
working files with one click, and switch between the file management
system and music library.
It is a web-based service that harnesses personal email accounts to
provide free, virtually unlimited storage.
"We
help users access the storage they don’t realize they already have;"
says co-founder and CEO Eli Nir. "And we save their files in
a folder separate from their inbox to avoid clutter."
Since
files, photos, and music live in the security of a mailbox, users can
view their files from any device with email access. If more storage
space is needed they can add another email account.
Tailored
for people with large music libraries, the media player gives music
lovers access to their favorite tunes from any computer. Users
can even spy on their friends’ play lists and see what their friends
are listening to in real time. And while most
music streaming services only work within the US, this service
streams iTunes play lists anywhere in the world where Internet is
available.
"So
many people already email themselves files," explains
co-founder and CFO Shanna McClearn. "There was no other
company tapping into the potential storage of email."
It lets
users sync their digital world without downloading or installing any
application on their computer. Users connect their email accounts,
choose their files, folders, and iTunes play lists.
