OVERVIEW: ОБЛАКО@mail.ru

Yesterday we told you that mail.ru launched a cloud - a file hosting service that is intended to be file-sharing hub for users living in the ecosystem Mehl and probably other services holding. We are not ardent supporters of the company's products, but the file could not resist the "limit" of 100 GB, decided to test the applicability of the instrument as a reserve. Naturally, the head of the assumptions of removal that would like to test.

It is fair to say that you do not get 100 GB, and 10. 100 GB has to be earned, and make it very simple. All this explains the picture-a quest that you need to go:

Put the software on the client computer, put the mobile app and turn it fotochek backup phone. Leave a review is not clear for whom and Charite Twitter - the quest is over and you have in the cloud there are 100GB :)

The desktop client

Desktop client for OSX - this ikonochka in the bar menu. No additional interface is not provided. And it is right. Additionally, in your working folder, create a folder into which merge the files put in the cloud mail. If you put something in that folder, it will appear in the same cloud. It's all exactly as with Dropbox. If you worked with him, the question does not arise. I have not found the tools to work with versioning of files. Perhaps it is not provided - as long or do not know.

size of the files to be downloaded in the Cloud is unlimited!

It is said that during client installation I did not put the Guard, not hovering agent, did not impose toolbars, browsers and settings. I hope that when you exit the beta situation does not deteriorate. While all clean, in the best traditions of your favorite services.

But it has not done in the client without any strange - after pouring the photos from your phone, he showed me a picture here.

mobile client

So I wrote about it in Facebook:

In general, the iOS app is very agile, very neat and nice to work with him, if only because it makes only what you need and nothing more - fills backup photos from Camera Roll, it scans files and allows them to quickly and easily share. While it is not available in the App Store and Google Play, but you can get it for an invite.

Web Part

Web version of the cloud by Email - the place where you will not spend a lot of time. Here you can organize folders (convenient locally), see the files (locally more convenient) and share the someone on the Internet.

Through web interfys you can upload a maximum size of 2 GB file, if you use the desktop client, the file size is unlimited.

Replacing Dropbox?

The main question to be answered - if we replace ОБЛАКО@mail.ru Dropbox. If the required size ≈100Gb file system, the cloud better. Because the same decision to 100GB of Dropbox will cost $ 99 / year. Then it's free. When compared to Yandex. Disk, the only advantage is the support of WebDAV and Windows RT (if you know what we say;).

If your problem - synchronization between users of large files of the working group on the internet, look at the clouds - it can close all your needs.... once out of beta.
