Unlimited Storage Space For Your Device

The Future of the Cloud

I have just read about the true potential of the cloud. A new service has been launched where files are only stored in a Cloud platform from https://upthere.com/

The implication is fantastic, particularly for devices - no more running out of storage space when taking video - there is no local storage, everything is in the cloud, upthere.

Rather than juggling multiple copies of a file between devices, our direct write technology keeps everything in the cloud, freeing the device to do what it does best — creating and consuming content.

Their pricing is comparable to Apple iCloud at $4.99 for 200Gb and are currently offering a 3 month trial.

First impressions are that it is an easy to use and well thought out app.
