Start-Up Kloudless and Barracuda Partner

Kloudless, Inc., a Berkeley-based company that brings the power of cloud storage to email inbox, and Barracuda Networks, Inc., announced a joint relationship that brings cloud accessibility and storage via email.

Through this relationship, Kloudless has been integrated with Copy, a Barracuda service, allowing users to access and store files from within their email inboxes directly in their Copy account.

Kloudless provides secure cloud access within the email inbox. Copy is a cloud-based file sync and share platform where users can store, protect and share data.

Integration extends the Copy cloud functionality to Kloudless users and enables:

• File sharing without limitations: Anything users store and share with Copy can be accessed and emailed without the hassle of file attachments. Unlike email attachments with size limitations, Copy and Kloudless allow users to upload and email files of any size, including 1080p videos and photographs.
• File access within email: Kloudless users can access designated files and folders in their Copy folder from within their email inbox.
• Cloud storage: Kloudless users have the option of connecting with an existing Copy account directly from one of the settings screens. Copy accounts provide 15GB of storage capacity free of charge, and users can license additional storage capacity directly from Barracuda.
• Enterprise grade security: Bank-grade security (256-bit RSA encryption and SSL for all data in transit) protects Kloudless users’ data as it is processed and transferred to the cloud storage locations designated by users. Internal and external firewalls, monitoring systems, intrusion detection systems and a dedicated Ops team handle any system or security issues that may arise. Copy protects users’ data with multiple layers of encryption including secure AES 256-bit encryption during transfer and while at rest on the Barracuda Cloud. Features like secure sharing, source validation, identity verification and access controls give users more control over their cloud files.
• Automation: Users can eliminate manual, repetitive actions by setting rules that allow Kloudless to file attachments into Copy. Rules can be customized by email sender, recipients and keywords; file name, type and size; or cloud service and folder.
• Link insertion or deletion of moved attachments: Users can save email inbox space while maintaining the full context of the original email by replacing incoming files with safe, secure links.
• Multi-browser, email service and cloud support: Kloudless runs on Chrome and Firefox web browsers within Gmail. Support for the Outlook desktop client is also available. Kloudless now supports Copy in addition to Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft One cloud (SkyDrive), Egynte, Bitcasa and SugarSync.

“Barracuda is focused on the customer experience and simplifying the way customers interact with their data,” said Alon Yaffe, Copy product manager, Barracuda. “Customers want to be able to save, share and maintain valuable emailed content in a secure manner, and the Copy and Kloudless integration provides that functionality in a seamless, cost-effective way.“

“For businesses to be able to effectively use online file sharing services, they have to be able to maintain control of the assets outside of their firewall, while working within a familiar context, the email inbox,” said Eliot Sun, co-founder and CEO, Kloudless. “This streamlined cloud approach brought to market by Barracuda and Kloudless is exactly what businesses and users need – corporate control with user ease, all within their email inbox.“
