TechCrunch: Nomadesk, Not Just Another File Sharing Service
December 21, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment
Robin Wauters from TechCrunch posted this article yesterday about some of the things that separates Nomadesk from the competition. Announcing the new feature of FolderLink, Wauters makes a case for the steady additions of features and business focus as a way Nomadesk is differentiating itself from the others.
For what it’s worth: Nomadesk really has an awesome desktop client (Windows and Mac) that goes far beyond most of what competitors have to offer, and the distribution part of the equation is slowly coming to fruition as well (the company recently signed a deal with Bell Canada for the company to use Nomadesk’s solution as a white-label service they can offer directly to their customers, and has similar agreements in place and in the pipeline).
But while the company has been consistently growing after its inception a couple of years ago, albeit slowly, the startup has received very little attention from tech press and industry pundits so far. I genuinely think that Nomadesk deserves more of it, as its service stacks up against most proponents in this space, particularly in the way you can control your virtual fileserver(s) from your mobile phone.
Maybe a new feature being launched today will raise some eyebrows: Nomadesk is today introducing a welcome feature that allows users to share an entire folder – regardless of its size – with anyone with an Internet connection and a browser. Simply use the desktop client to right-click any folder you’d like to share, and you can relay the link to whoever you would like to share it with, and they don’t need to have the software installed let alone be a registered Nomadesk user to access all the files in the folder.

Nomadesk: Cloud-Based Backup Providers Doing Quite Well
ReadWriteWeb posted an article by Alex Williams about Telecom companies offering their customers cloud-based services. The Nomadesk/Bell Canada partnership was used as a prime example.
Telecommunications companies are partnering with services like Nomadesk to give customers the ability to do their own cloud-based online backups.
Nomadesk is a virtual hard drive on your desktop. It’s very simple. We downloaded the application, made some simple configurations and immediately had the ability to drag and drop files into the virtual hard drive that sits on the desktop.The hard drive is connected to the cloud and syncs when updates are made.

Certification Affirms Nomadesk as a Scalable, Secure, Easy-to-Use Platform for Bell Customers
New York, NY – December 16, 2009 – Nomadesk, the easiest and most secure on-demand file sharing software, today was named a Bell Certified Solution. This certification is part of Nomadesk’s ongoing global initiative to partner with leading wireless providers. Under the agreement, Bell Canada will begin offering its SOHO and SMB customers access to Nomadesk’s cloud computing technology, which allows users to share, synchronize, encrypt, backup and store important documents with as many team members as needed. The service includes virtual file servers that give users online and offline access to their data from anywhere, any computer or mobile phone, and at anytime.
“We have rigorously tested Nomadesk on Bell Mobility’s networks and devices and are excited to offer this innovative cloud computing technology to our customer base. Nomadesk will bring our customers new and secure ways to share files and documents in order to boost efficiency of all team members,” said Chris Hubbell, Partner Solution Manager, Bell Mobility. “With Nomadesk’s scalability, we will be able to reduce our customers’ infrastructure costs and dramatically boost their agility.”
Millions of people risk losing their unprotected, critical data every day. As the amount of unprotected data stored on multiple devices increases, it becomes harder to synchronize and easier to lose. Keeping data secure, synchronized, backed up and available can be expensive and require in-house IT expertise. Whether customers are online or offline, working at the office or on the road, the Nomadesk service allows business teams to secure, sync and share data with no limits or change in behavior. Each virtual file server acts just like a hard drive, storing important documents in one place with local and remote access from a PC, Mac or iPhone. Users simply drag and drop their docs into a virtual file server, and files are immediately encrypted, backed up and available for file sharing.
Nomadesk CEO Filip Tack said: “We are proud to be named a Bell Certified Solution. Nomadesk is the very first on-demand file sharing and synchronization solution to receive this kind of certification. Bell Canada will be marketing Nomadesk to millions of its SMB and SOHO customers. We believe this initiative will spark many similar partnerships with other leading wireless companies looking to bolster their service offering.”
