LogMeIn Presents Cloud Sync and Share Services Cubby for Enterprise

LogMeIn, Inc. introduced Cubby Enterprise, a business version of its cloud file sync and share product, to help IT professionals manage company data in the BYOD and bring-your-own-app era.

In response to the rise of consumer apps in the workplace, a trend that is acute with SMBs, this brings together the company’s expertise with SMB IT management and its experience building apps into a single offering. As a result, SMB IT professionals are empowered to manage and secure company data shared between people and across devices, while providing employees with the ease-of-use they crave in their personal applications.

Michael Simon, CEO, LogMeIn “The consistent refrain we hear from our more than 100,000 SMB IT customers is that today’s file sync and share solutions fall into two camps: complex, managed offerings built for IT but loathed by employees, or consumer-grade offerings that win over employees but fall far too short on security and control. Unfortunately, that has left too many businesses with little choice but to either aggressively block such consumer apps or, more often, allow their use and take on the inherent security risks of company data being shared across both work and personal devices,With Cubby Enterprise, we’re aiming to give businesses the best of both worlds by bringing together LogMeIn’s deep understanding of IT management with our proven experience building popular apps.“

It gives SMBs the user experience needed to win over employees, while empowering IT to control how sensitive data is shared. These capabilities include:

Features for employees:

Flexible and intuitive access:

• Intuitive user experience: Cubby features a simple experience designed by the same team behind the LogMeIn, Ignition and join.me apps

• The ability to make any existing folder a ‘cubby’: Turn any folder into a ‘cubby’ with the freedom to make as many cubbies as desired

• Access to files anywhere from virtually any device: Native iOS, Android, Windows and Mac apps, as well as access from any browser make it possible to work from anywhere across a blend of work and personal devices

• 1TB of cloud storage for every 5 users. It provides users with 1TB to be shared per 5 users and can add users and additional space as desired

Public and Private Sharing

• Multiple ways to share files and collaborate with others: Content can be shared with others by inviting them into a cubby, which lets both parties see, work with, and sync content; or it can be shared through read-only links to files and cubbies, an option that provides sharing even with people who don’t have a Cubby account
