Omnidrive Continues to Improve Virtual Desktop and Remote Storage Service
Eight days ago we posted an item about how OmniDrive users could remotely open stored documents and other files using the vast array of excellent web-based (sure, call it Web 2.0 services) from Zoho. OmniDrive also allows users to stream, share, publish along with a bunch of other services.
The exciting news from eight days ago did not slow down the OmniDrive team. They continue to expand and enhance their services. What's New?
+ Updated Windows Client (Not needed to use the service)
++ # All-new autoupdater (with links to the web interface, etc.)
++ Ability to drag a large number of folders into Omnidrive
+ Web Interface
++ New news-section popup when you first login (you are probably reading this through the admin interface
++ Interface enhancements (faster pop-ups, quicker fades, etc.)
++ Public URL now in properties for a file (if the file is made public)
++ So, Mac folk, you are able to use the service.
Note to Developers: The Omnidrive API has also been released.
Of course, Omnidrive isn't the only remote storage service out there. Hardly. We have also spent some time using MediaMax, Mozy, and ElephantDrive, and InfoFount. All impressive. Try them all. However, the Omnidrive hook-up with Zoho is a big plus.
