RemotePC Lite From Pro Softnet

RemotePC, the remote access service from Pro Softnet Corp., launched RemotePC Lite, a free service that transforms your PC into your personal cloud accessible from anywhere.

Cloud Storage can be used in different ways. One of them would clearly be to use your PC or Mac as the centralized server, or the cloud, and your other PCs, Macs or mobile devices as the clients. You can choose the folders including documents, images and emails and enable them for cloud access. This data can also be instantly shared without ever uploading the data to a storage service.

"RemotePC Lite has been optimized for PCs and iPhones. A Mac version is in the pipeline. Although online storage and sharing services are popular, there is a sizable user base that does not feel comfortable uploading their critical documents or images online due to privacy concerns. Additionally, there is substantial amount of data on their PCs to transfer online. They prefer to have permissions based control over their data, host the data themselves and have real time access. RemotePC Lite is tailor made for them," said Divyanand, Project Lead for the RemotePC team.

Features of RemotePC Lite includes:

• Access Files and Folders enabled for remote view via any browser or phone
• View Photos and images as thumbnails or in large/medium view
• Create share links for your friends and associates to allow access to files, folders or photos on the remote computer
• Upload files to your remote computer and download files enabled for remote access via the web
• Locate files and folders quickly and easily
• Read emails on the remote computer supported for Microsoft Outlook/Outlook Express/Windows Mail via the web

This service is offered free. A full featured remote access service with remote control is offered starting at $4.95/PC/month. Other options include a Small Business option for 25 PCs at $49.50/month.
