The cloud storage and synchronization company worked a deal with HP to power the CloudDrive service on the HP Mini netbook line starting this month. Essentially, owners of HP Mini netbooks have built-in web storage that virtually expands the local, physical storage. All content is stored centrally on Amazon S3 servers and pulled down as needed.<\/p>\n<p>What I like best about ZumoDrive&#8217;s approach is how data in the cloud has a local look and feel. When I last looked at the service, <a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/2009\/02\/02\/mobile-tech-minutes-zumodrive-integrates-cloud-data-with-client-applications\/\">I used iTunes to listen to music files stored online, but you really couldn&#8217;t tell where the data was<\/a>. This seamless blurring of local vs cloud storage is a key strength for mobile users as is the cross-platform support and mobile client.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the key CloudDrive features

either HP or ZumoDrive and report back on the experience. If it&#8217;s anything like what I&#8217;ve seen in the past, it ought to be good. The one outstanding question I have is the end-user cost &#8212; while CloudDrive will be bundled, the ZumoDrive service typically requires<a href=\"http:\/\/www.zumodrive.com\/pricing\"> a monthly fee based on the amount of storage<\/a>, although anyone can get 2 GB of storage for free.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/stats.wordpress.com\/b.gif?host=jkontherun.com&#038;blog=4479943&#038;post=53426&#038;subd=jkontherun&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/jkOnTheRun?a=gye_g3GyL5k:rBL-5tv2_Jw:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/jkOnTheRun?i=gye_g3GyL5k:rBL-5tv2_Jw:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/jkOnTheRun?a=gye_g3GyL5k:rBL-5tv2_Jw:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/jkOnTheRun?i=gye_g3GyL5k:rBL-5tv2_Jw:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/jkOnTheRun?a=gye_g3GyL5k:rBL-5tv2_Jw:dnMXMwOfBR0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/jkOnTheRun?d=dnMXMwOfBR0\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/jkOnTheRun?a=gye_g3GyL5k:rBL-5tv2_Jw:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/jkOnTheRun?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/jkOnTheRun?a=gye_g3GyL5k:rBL-5tv2_Jw:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/jkOnTheRun?i=gye_g3GyL5k:rBL-5tv2_Jw:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/jkOnTheRun\/~4\/gye_g3GyL5k\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I haven&#8217;t bumped into the ZumoDrive folks just yet, but they did give me a heads-up on some big news.
