Personal content management solutions provider Primadesk, announced the launch of their flagship product, an Internet and mobile application that provides users with centralized access to their range of digital data dispersed across multiple online services, after successful beta testing. The Primadesk app helps bring order to online life, enabling users to search, manage and back up online accounts with one interface, no matter what device they use. Primadesk incorporates the ability to drag and drop content (documents, emails and photos) from one service provider to another.
Primadesk Free Version provides search and manage capabilities across any five service providers. The Pro Version also includes the ability to back up personal online content, by folders or albums or the entire account. In addition, Pro Version provides unlimited access to more than 25 online services. Primadesk is currently developing other features for Pro Version, including single sign-on to all other online applications regularly accessed by users.
“When we launched the Startup Accelerator program just a year ago, we expected our seed investments to help place us at the forefront of industry trends. We are excited to see our first investment, Primadesk, make excellent progress in the personal cloud content management space,” said John McIntyre, managing director of Citrix Startup Accelerator. “We expect them to make significant strides this year as they continue to get market traction and attract more investors.”
In addition, Primadesk Mobile Version provides users the ability to view all recent content from online accounts on their Apple iOS or Google Android devices. Users can also search and view all their photos and documents in one place. Mobile Version puts users’ cloud data right at their fingertips, so they can copy content from one service to another on the go.
“IDrive EVS provides a unique technology for encrypted and secure cloud storage. Partners like Primadesk add immense value to our platform,” said Raghu Kulkarni, CEO of Pro Softnet Corp. “IDrive provides secure backup of your PC, Macs and mobile devices, and with Primadesk, our users can also protect their cloud-based content using our platform.”
A recent report from Microsoft estimated that the average Web user has approximately 25 online accounts, with each one requiring its own log-in credentials and holding a different slice of online life, and without the ability to integrate views and share data. Primadesk is a solution for organizing, viewing and interacting with this dispersed personal cloud content. With Primadesk, the consolidated Web experience travels with the user from device to device, connecting cloud services wherever the user might be.
“The rapid growth of Web‐access devices and cloud services has vastly increased the amount of data that is created and stored on the Web,” said Srinivasa Venkataraman, founder and CEO of Primadesk. “Primadesk not only makes it easier for users to access and manage that data with Pro Version, we also help them protect that data through automatic backup. No matter where your content is located, you run the risk of inadvertently losing it if you have only one copy in the cloud.”
