Pocket Cloud Explore

December 30, 2011

I love things that make life simpler. Wyse Technology has come up with a new type of integrated search, as TechCrunch reveals in “PocketCloud Explore Lets You Search Your Android, PC & Mac at Once.” The app for Android, aptly named Wyse PocketCloud Explore, lets you search multiple places at once. Wish I could do that when I loose my car keys! According to the write up, with this app:

You can perform universal file searches, then view the files, rename them, move them into folders, share them or download them to your device. The software lets you perform unlimited copying and moving of video, image and audio files between your Windows or Mac computer and your Android device. Meanwhile, other files types can be opened or edited in your preferred Android application (e.g., QuickOffice). You can also choose to email the file via Android’s email client.

As opposed to cloud storage products like Dropbox or Box.net, this app for the self-storage inclined runs only $4.99 with no monthly fee. Writer Sarah Perez notes one important caveat: if you store it yourself, back up your data. Regularly. Seriously, no excuses.

Wyse Technology has become a leader in the burgeoning cloud computing field. The company, headquartered in San Jose, CA, works with businesses, government organizations, and hybrid partnerships worldwide. Last month, Wyse proudly acquired Trellia, a company proficient in cloud-based mobile device management.
