By right-clicking on a file from the myNomadesk.com dashboard and choosing edit from the menu, Zoho instantly integrates with Nomadesk, to open the MS document in an external window so users can view and make changes from their browser. Put differently, you can now edit your MS Office files in the “Nomadesk Cloud” from any computer with any Internet browser… and your edits will be neatly synchronized to your “regular” computer.

Oh yes, don’t forget to sign up for your 30 day free trial.

Here are but a few of his “discoveries”:

“Nomadesk goes beyond other syncing and file-sharing services, creating a complete virtual disk… If you just want a virtual drive synched to your PCs and the cloud, Nomadesk is worth a look.”

“A big green button on the Nomadesk webpage offers live support with an engineer in a chat window. There’s also e-mail and phone support (CET office hours only). For a Web service, these avenues are quite generous. Indeed, I got a tech rep in my chat box in seconds.”

“If the idea of anywhere access to your digital assets appeals to you, Nomadesk is worth checking out. After all, spending $50 per year to sync a full hard drive’s worth of data is a much better deal than the Syncplicity’s $15 a month for 50GB. It’s also cheaper than PC Mag Editors’ Choice Dropbox, which costs $100 a year for 50GB.”

Today we announced a Summer Fun Promotion throughout the month of June 2010, which will give our customers who pre-pay for a new one-year Team Fileserver subscription or a new two-year Personal Fileserver subscription a free Eye-Fi Connect X2 4GB card (valued at $49).

By bundling Nomadesk with an Eye-Fi card, customers will receive the ability to automatically safeguard their memories to the Nomadesk cloud and synchronize their photos to their computers for easy storage and sharing; video uploads to the Nomadesk cloud will be supported soon.

So, rather than downloading photos through a memory card that you connect directly into your computer, Nomadesk now brilliantly works with Eye-Fi to remotely save photos into the Nomadesk file server without having to physically import them from your digital camera memory card. And for just $180 a year for a Nomadesk Team Fileserver or $100 for two years of a Personal Fileserver, you can get unlimited storage (Fair Use).

Red Herring’s Top 100 Europe list has become a mark of distinction for identifying promising new companies and entrepreneurs. Red Herring editors were among the first to recognize that companies such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo, Skype, Salesforce.com, YouTube, and eBay would change the way we live and work.

“Choosing the companies with the strongest potential was by no means a small feat,” said Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring. “After rigorous contemplation and discussion, we narrowed our list down from hundreds of candidates from across Europe to the Top 100 Winners. We believe Nomadesk embodies the vision, drive and innovation that define a successful entrepreneurial venture. Nomadesk should be proud of its accomplishment, as the competition was very strong.”

Red Herring’s editorial staff evaluated the companies on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, such as financial performance, technology innovation, management quality, strategy, and market penetration. This assessment of potential is complemented by a review of the track record and standing of startups relative to their sector peers, allowing Red Herring to see past the “buzz” and make the list a valuable instrument of discovery and advocacy for the most promising new business models in Europe.

Nomadesk 4.0 also expands FolderLink and Widget functionality to now be accessed through the desktop dashboard in addition to the online dashboard.  These tools have already proven to open the door for secure and easy collaboration with people inside and outside one’s network.

Raining in Benefits from the Cloud – The main reasons why companies move to Cloud Computing:

Save Money; You won’t waste money buying and upgrading hardware and software or be bothered with having to pay for breakdowns.

Freedom; You are free to access your data from anywhere you have an internet connection (with Nomadesk, even where you don’t).

Save Time; There’s no more frustration or time lost waiting for IT problems and glitches to be fixed.

Peace of Mind; Enjoy the comfort of complete protection from unwanted surprises such as loss of data that could slow you up or even shut down your business, sometimes for good.

In a recent article published by Delfin Joaquin Paris III on BestTipsTechnology.com he outlines the key benefits of cloud storage for small businesses. Here is his list:

Synchronization; Cloud storage enables consumers to sync documents immediately between computer systems on the local system network. Cloud storage indicates you can reduce or eliminate the need for actually moving your data from one machine to another and even the need to email documents around the office.

Collaboration; Similar to GoogleDocs, a lot of cloud-storage suppliers now allow customers to view and modify data (spreadsheets, presentations, as well as word processing documents, as an example) by means of an online portal. This is especially a good choice for supporting geographically dispersed employees to work with others instantly.

File Sharing; Large video clip, music, and image art documents can easily choke your company’s e-mail system. And also e-mailing vulnerable documents could raise security worries. Several cloud storage providers currently offer drag and drop efficiency that allows you to safely and securely copy significant or confidential records.

Security; It could be counter-intuitive, but cloud storage is in fact a great deal more protected than many small to mid-sized businesses are able to do in-house. At many smaller organizations, locally filed data are at threat from theft, fire, software issues, and computer failure. Cloud storage will offer built-in redundancy at every level: hard disk, machine, and data center.

Always On; Whenever small to mid-sized businesses’s ISP goes offline, or when ones router fails, or even whenever the server has problems, or you (or perhaps a person in your IT personnel) pulls the incorrect switch, your complete company can lose usage of data and services. Cloud storage services must be professionals at uptime and service accessibility. Their particular uptime records are often a lot better than what can be done by yourself. Also, since many cloud storage providers cache data locally in addition to on the internet, even if the service goes down or perhaps you lose your online connection you’ve still got usage of important computer data.
