Streamload MediaMax Now Includes Free Desktop Backup and
File Synchronization
Latest Version of Online Media Center Ensures Users Will Have Their Files
When and Where They Need Them
SAN DIEGO, JUNE 26, 2006
– –
Streamload®,
a leading provider of online digital media services, today
announced Streamload MediaMax™ 1.5, the latest
version of the world’s largest online media center. The new
Streamload MediaMax service is the first in the online
storage space offering a full suite of media sharing and
remote access applications that include free file backup and
file synchronization in one online service.
Streamload MediaMax allows users to easily store, organize,
access, and share their entire digital media collection from
one integrated online service. Version 1.5 integrates the
management and sharing of online and offline media, by
incorporating new features, a simplified user interface, and
integrating free downloadable client software, called
Streamload MediaMax XL, into the Streamload MediaMax
service.
The new Streamload MediaMax XL application lets users easily
upload to and download from Streamload MediaMax using a drag
and drop window on their desktop. It also automatically
performs regular backups of designated folders from their PC
and it synchronizes files across multiple computers and
devices every time new files are added, changed or deleted
on their computer. The benefit of the Streamload MediaMax XL
application’s automatic backup and sync is users will always
have their files when and where they need them without the
hassle of manual uploads.
Users of the service can also invite friends and family to
sync folders on their computers. Without any additional
effort beyond putting the files on their own computers,
users can automatically share photos and personal video
instantaneously with others who are subscribed to their
synchronized folders.
“Traditionally, consumers have been forced to use a lot of
different tools and applications for their digital media
needs, which is not only frustrating and time-consuming, but
has caused many users to abandon their efforts to backup and
share their personal photos and digital videos,” said Steve
Iverson, president and CEO of Streamload. “We are excited
that Streamload MediaMax now offers our users one central
place with all the tools they need to automatically
preserve, manage, share, and synchronize across multiple
computers and devices and with family and friends. The
service remembers to do the organizing, synching, backing up
and sharing for you.”
In addition, version 1.5 of Streamload MediaMax has been
revamped with a more intuitive user interface and additional
options for organizing, tagging, batch editing and searching
the contents of the service’s photo share, video share,
music lockers, and TV & movie lockers.
Streamload MediaMax runs on Windows®, Mac OS and Linux. The
standard service is free and comes with 25 GB of online
storage. A premium account gives subscribers 250 GB of
storage for $9.95 per month, and the elite subscription
offers 1000 GB for $29.95 per month (when paid annually.)
