SocialFolders Introduces the First Social File System at TechCrunchDisrupt

The first file system, helping you to get back in command of your social data, Featured in the Start-up Alley at TechCrunch Event in San Francisco

2011-09-16
SAN FRANCISCO, CA, September 16, 2011 (Press-News.org) SocialFolders is a free, disruptive service that enables people to regain command of their social data. With SocialFolders, users can access directly from Windows File Explorer and Mac Finder the photos, videos, and documents stored on their favorite websites.

Today our photos, videos, music, and documents are moving to the Cloud in order to be easily shared and accessed from anywhere. The issue with this is that all this content is scattered across multiple online services and difficult to reach. As our social lives rely more and more on web-based services, we become increasingly dependent on the ways in which these websites and social networks deal with our personal data.

SocialFolders puts users back in control of their own digital property by establishing a direct connection between Windows or Mac file systems and the websites they use to store and share files.

SocialFolders reverses traditional cloud-computing models and enables you to connect to your social networks, photo-sharing apps, and online storage services directly from your local file system. With SocialFolders, get your files back onto your computer without having to download them manually. Drag and drop files from one folder to another to upload them or to copy them across websites. Connect to your friends' websites and automatically receive the albums that they share with you.

Key features
- Move your data between websites freely
- Keep a local backup of your photos, videos, and documents stored in the Cloud
- Upload files to websites without touching your Internet browser
- Download your friends' albums automatically
- Get instant access to your photos uploaded from your mobile app
