SpiderOak redefines cloud backup

SpiderOak https://spideroak.com/thesupercloud has created a way to bring the cloud into full view – shaping and organizing it into a tool that can help make daily life more efficient.

We call this approach ‘Living the CloudLife’ and it is based on four main principles:

  • Backing up and Storing all of your data – regardless of platform (Mac, Windows, Linux) or remote device (external hard-drive, network volume, USB key)
  • Synchronizing and/or Sharing any combination of folders across any combination of machines
  • Accessing all the data you have stored from any machine throughout your network
  • Consistently maintaining ‘zero-knowledge’ privacy
