You wantstore or
to safeguardyour data online but the idea of having your photos
Personal information on a foreign server doesn't appeal to you? The company
northern familyOVH, number 1 French and 4 worldwide according to
Netcraft, launched its own online storage service:
hubiC.
The first25 GB is freeand from January 2012 a
unlimited supplyvery competitive will be available.
Here are details on this promising offer, which of course includes its
iPhone and iPad client, which also allowsstreamingand the
visualisation de documents :
OVH seems not to have suffered too much from supply problems in
hard drives caused by flooding in Thailand and launches hubiC, server
online staff who seems very interesting.
hubiC(for "your hub in the Cloud" but also a pun on
ubiquitous) allowsstore, save, synchronize
all your images, documents, videos, etc., and access them from a
PC compatible computer, an iPhone, iPod touch or an iPad. And what's more he
allows theaudio and video streaming!
:
- hubiC start: 25 Go gratuit,
- hubiC perso: 100 GB for 11, 95€ per year,
- hubiC premium:unlimited for €83.71
To compare with the market leading solution
Dropbox vu ici(2 GB free or $20 per month for 100 GB),SugarSync reviewed here(5 Go
free, $400 per year for 500 GB) or that of Apple i.e.iCloud(5 GB free and 80 euros for 85 GB).
:
L’applicationhubiC pour iOSis available
for free here on the AppStoreand the PC versionvia the website.
After installation and creation of the account, use is simple, the interface
stripped: onevirtual diskis created on the computer and
all files or folders that are dragged or copied there (no
known size limit) are synchronized and available via
the iOS app. On theiPhone or other iOS device
you can create folders, loadphotos or films from the
film.
And that's not all: you can also directly take a photo or film
from hubiC andphotos or videos will be automatically
storedin the clouds without saturating the device's memory! Again
better, photos and films can beviewed in streaming
(AirPlay compatible): your media library available wherever the internet is
available!
hubiC accepts “all file types” according to OVH: .pdf, .doc, .jpg, .wav,
.avi,… Butsaving does not mean being able to use.
So, even if according to my tests the .mov (streaming included), the .png, the
.mp3, .wav, .aif (streaming) can be used under iOS (the .wma tested does not have
worked in streaming), the.doc, .ppt and .xlsx are not
recognizedin opening. On the other hand the.pdf are
visuables.
When the files are downloaded they areaccessible outside
connexionUNLESS stored in folders that cannot be
open… Annoying as they are not transferable to film. HAS
correct quickly.
hubiC plans to implement thesharing via invitations
private or public. Ideal for families, businesses and peer to
peer. Accounts can also be shared.%% Synchronization should
also be perfected with theprogrammingpar
example.
The files can bemodified directly in
ligne.
- the price!
- le streamingvideos
- the fact that neither the number nor the size of files seems limited (even
if OVH recommends a maximum of 50,000 files per folder) - photos and videos directly posted online.
- the installation and validation of the registration very slow (I imagine that
it's just a problem at launch) - the absence of a solution for Mac and Linux
- password cannot be retained
- no moving files between folders in the application
iOS - no access to files inoffline folders
even if downloaded or taken from iPhone - photos and videos that cannot be transferred to the camera roll
hubiCis a solutionvery interesting
financiallyfor storage, data backup. And if OVH
confirms its intentions andadds some features
seen above hubiC could quickly become an excellent solution for
synchronization and streaming.
To download
for free here on the AppStoreand start up if only for the
video streaming and 25 GB of free storage.
