Memopal News & Articles

Get your 3GB of free cloud-storage from Memopal (news, site) to store your files and test out the service to see if their larger offerings will tempt you to upgrade.

Memopal (news, site) improves its mobile access and search to the company's cloud storage facility with Cloud Search 2.0.

If you already use Memopal's online storage service (which we've covered recently), you can use its Cloud Search 2.0 feature for free. It lets mobile users, with a particular focus on all those lovely iPhone owners, search their own files which are kept remotely stored for easy access, from anywhere on the planet.

The search engine makes use of Memopal's own Memopal Global File System (MGFS) to provide rapid results. So, if you have masses of data stored on the service, you can track down documents, data or other files faster than manually opening them all on a computer and wading through them manually.

The files that you access in the cloud when using the Memopal service are monitored, so the most commonly used are prioritized at the top of the search stack and more readily accessible.

While you can't open the files on a mobile device, you can make them available to others. So, when the inevitable call comes in from a boss or client for all documents about "Company X", you can provide the answer and access, wherever you are and without needing a laptop at hand.

There is a 30-day trial for those wanting to try out, those wanting a little more involvement can join a beta test for 60 days.

We covered Memopal's move to mobile-assisted storage recently. Now Memopal (news, site) offers 30% off for users wanting to switch from other services to take advantage of its remote storage facility.

To boost interest in the overall service, the Italian company has a tempting offer for those that currently use other online backup services. The offer runs until September 15 and covers both the personal and business editions. Tell them which service you use and why you don't like it, and you will be entitled to the discount.

Which services are not specified. For example, if you use Microsoft's free SkyDrive, does that count? Or, if you use Symantec's high-end Veritas NetBackup PureDisk? You will have to fill out the form see if you qualify.

With the business edition starting at €48 for 10GB storage a year (before the discount), Memopal supports the following operating systems: Windows XP, Vista, Server 2003, Mac and Linux (both in Beta), iPhone App Store and Mobile.

If you want to switch from your existing service or have a pressing need for remote storage that is easily accessible anywhere, then the discount offer may be tempting to consider.

Memopal is an Italian company with a smart way for you to share files, images and video stored on your desktop rapidly using your smartphone.
