RapidShare Simplifies File Management With RapidDrive

RapidDrive Beta is a new file management tool presented by RapidShare AG, in Baar, Switzerland, that integrates into the Microsoft OS.

RapidPro customer accounts are included in the Windows folder structure, from where they can be managed using Windows Explorer. The account is displayed in the Explorer window in the same way as an additional hard disk. Files can be dragged and dropped to RapidDrive for uploading and downloading.

Alexandra Zwingli, CEO of RapidShare, says: "With RapidDrive, we are providing a tool that creates an even closer link between cloud storage and the PC environment, which makes it easier to manage files. RapidDrive is an essential means of simplifying work processes, especially for customers who are regular users of RapidShare at work."

By integrating RapidDrive into the Microsoft OS, RapidShare customers now have another time-saving function that allows files to be uploaded directly from other programs (such as word processing programs) into the RapidShare account.

RapidPro customers can access the beta version of RapidDrive, which is compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. Versions for other OSs are also planned. The final release is expected to come at the start of September, after completion of the testing phase. RapidDrive Beta is available for downloading.
