Back in July 2012, LogMeIn, who is more widely known for its remote control applications, announced that they were creating a cloud storage service called Cubby. Well, their new service has now entered its open beta development stage.
LogMeIn is offering a whopping 25GB of free storage to users that generate enough referrals to the new Cubby Cloud Storage service, with unlimited syncing of content across all your PCs and Macs, using their newly designed DirectSync software.
“The Cubby Team is happy to share the next milestone in the evolution of Cubby: the “Open Beta” period. Whether you’ve been looking to score that elusive invite or are finding out about Cubby for the first time, you now have instant access to the Web’s best sync and store service…and up to 25GB of free cloud storage. Yeah, 25GB. And for those of you who already scored an invite? We’ve got some great new stuff for you, too. A lot of it may even sound familiar, as we’ve been working hard to incorporate a lot of your good ideas and feedback into a new and improved Cubby.”
Features of Cubby Cloud Storage
Cubby offers a range of features designed to make cloud storage and file synchronization as seamless as possible. One of the standout features is the unlimited syncing of content across multiple devices. This means that whether you are using a PC or a Mac, your files will be consistently updated and accessible from any device. The DirectSync software is particularly noteworthy as it allows for peer-to-peer syncing without using cloud storage space, which can be a huge advantage for users with large files or limited internet bandwidth.
Another significant feature is the referral program, which allows users to earn up to 25GB of free storage. This is a generous offer compared to many other cloud storage services, which typically offer much smaller amounts of free storage. The referral program not only helps users gain more storage but also helps LogMeIn expand its user base through word-of-mouth marketing.
Comparison with Other Cloud Storage Services
When comparing Cubby to other cloud storage services like Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive, several unique aspects stand out. For instance, Dropbox offers 2GB of free storage initially, with the possibility of earning more through referrals and other activities. Google Drive provides 15GB of free storage, which is shared across Google services like Gmail and Google Photos. OneDrive offers 5GB of free storage, with options to earn more through referrals and other promotions.
Cubby’s offer of up to 25GB of free storage through referrals is quite competitive. Additionally, the DirectSync feature sets Cubby apart by allowing users to sync files directly between devices without using cloud storage space. This can be particularly useful for users who need to transfer large files quickly and securely.
Moreover, Cubby places a strong emphasis on user feedback and continuous improvement. The open beta stage is not just a testing phase but also an opportunity for users to contribute to the development of the service. LogMeIn has been actively incorporating user suggestions and feedback to enhance Cubby’s features and usability.
