Our father is not very computer savvy so to explain him the point of cloudHQ we told him the following story…
While cloud computing and keeping files over the web in sync have only been around for a just a couple of years, the concept is not a new one.
Back in the 1930s when there were no computers, a company could have multiple offices located in different parts of a town, or even across cities. Each office is responsible for a certain function in the company, but they also need to share documents between offices.
To do this, they had secretaries copy and re-type documents to be sent via courier to the other offices around town. The courier will be responsible for delivering the updated set of documents to each office, keeping them ‘in sync.’
Now, offices are not in different parts of a town, but they are in cloud; the offices are different cloud services like Google Docs, Dropbox, and Basecamp. The documents that need to be shared between offices are held in different cloud services like Google Docs, Dropbox, and Basecamp, making it an even tougher situation than before. So what’s the 21st century solution?
The old reliable courier is now cloudHQ, keeping your documents and files updated across computers and different cloud services automatically – without your secretaries having to re-type them!
