Pro Softnet Redesigned IDriveSync to Beat Google Drive

Pro Softnet Corp., provider of cloud storage, online backup, compliance and remote access solutions for consumers and business, announced the redesigned IDriveSync.

It includes new features and a new user interface designed to delivera secure way to access data across multiple computers, tablets and smartphones.

New to the IDriveSync service is Visual Sharing, a drag-and-drop browser interface that allows users to drag files from their computer into their browser for instant syncing. The interface also allows users to set up a contact list and send a link to files via email by just dragging the file to the contact’s name.

Also new is Facebook integration, allowing users to link their Facebook accounts for easy access to contacts and sharing of photos or videos with friends via private messages or wall posts. Using this integration, photos can be uploaded once to an IDriveSync account and be available for posting to Facebook and many other uses.

IDriveSync is available and includes 5GB of complimentary storage space. Users requiring additional storage, can purchase 150GB for $4.95 per month or $49.50 annually; or 500GB for $14.95 per month or $149.50 annually.

Every account supports an unlimited number of connected devices sharing the same sync space. These price points beat competing offers from Google Drive, DropBox among others, said the company.

The service ensures better security and performance than its competitors through Pro Softnet’s private cloud service; data is transferred and stored using the AES-256.

"The explosion of mobile devices has made online sync a hot market today, but security is a top priority for users," said Raghu Kulkarni, Pro Softnet CEO. "We take pride in delivering a safe syncing solution through servers that are owned and operated by Pro Softnet, all at a low price point and I believe users will be very happy with this new version of IDriveSync."

Additional key features include:

• Cross-platform functionality – available for Windows, Mac OS X, iOS and Android and devices are linked seamlessly so important files are always accessible.
• iPad document editing: supports the WebDAV protocol, which allows iPad owners that have Apple iWork apps (Pages, Numbers & Keynote) to edit and save documents stored on their account from their iPad.
• Groups – allows users to create various contact groups for easy syncing with coworkers, family and friends.
• File versioning – will store up to the latest 30 versions of every file synced to the service and only the latest version of each file takes up Sync space – earlier versions are kept without counting as stored data.
• Speed – 30% faster syncing capabilities for larger data transfers when compared to similar services.
