SeeFile.com Announces Free Hosted Storage Service For Apple iPhone Users
Boston, MA (PRWEB) June 27, 2007 -- SeeFile, a developer of webserver software for sharing media files, today announced its support for Apple's iPhone with a new free hosted service, www.seefile.com. The site combines 5 gigabytes of storage space, graphical previews of saved files, and features such as print ordering and online annotation, which go beyond what online storage sites typically provide.
Tuned To The iPhone
The site's simple, elegant graphical user interface is designed to fit within the confines of the iPhone's 480x320 pixel touchscreen. The design is tailored for the iPhone's version of Apple's Safari web browser, with a compact layout, large buttons suited to touch screen selection, and easy-to-navigate folder browsing. In addition, the design uses only "iPhone-friendly" AJAX Web 2.0 design principles, and no Flash or Java code is employed, for maximum compatibility. The free service goes "live" at 4PM Eastern Standard time on Friday, June 29th - two hours before the iPhone goes on sale at AT&T Cingular wireless locations on the East coast.
Building Your Own Site
Another major advantage of www.seefile.com over standard filesharing websites is that users can purchase a version of the software that drives the site, to run on their own computers. This software package functions identically to the hosted site, but stores shared files directly on the hard disk of the computer running the software. With this server software package, iPhone owners can use SeeFile to access a wide range of media files such as photo proofs, PDFs and video files from remote locations. Current customers for the SeeFile 3 software include commercial photographers, graphic designers, videographers and print providers. Packages are also available which bundle all the sofware and hardware needed to set up a SeeFile site, with prices starting at $995.
SeeFile Quote: "This site will make it easy for iPhone users to share their files with friends, family and coworkers using any type of web browser," said Paul Navitsky, the product manager. "We think that Apple's new platform is a great way to deliver Web experiences like file sharing, browsing and online printing in a pocketable format."
