CloudMe (formerly icloud) is an online computer, like an operating system running in the cloud with an AJAX-based remote web desktop. The CloudMe service is owned and developed by Xcerion, a Swedish company. It is accessible from both desktop operating systems and mobile operating systems using WebDAV. CloudMe is compatible with a variety of web browsers like Internet Explorer, Firefox and Google Chrome. In June 2010 a mobile version for iPhone and Android web browsers was released, expanding mobile access beyond WebDAV. The desktop and its applications are translated by its users to 30 languages.

History

Xcerion was founded by Daniel Arthursson in November 2001. The CloudMe service is powered by Xcerion XML Internet OS/3 (XIOS), which initially was developed to be a user interface on top of an enterprise Service-oriented architecture with XML Web Services and a rapid development tool for rich SaaS applications. Today CloudMe is a consumer service.

The CloudMe cloud computing service was launched in public beta in April 2009 and in December 2009 the premium version with 100 GB storage was launched.^[1] Using a SaaS model, the service is provided in a free version (3 GB storage), a model often called freemium, and a premium version without advertisements and 100 GB storage.

Features

CloudMe features a cloud-based storage with a desktop-like remote management interface. Artifacts of CloudMe are; Desktop, file sharing, Cloud Drive, CloudMe Social community, and open server API for developers. Essentially you can save your files on the web and not just on your computer which facilitates remote access to your files. The CloudMe service includes several web-based applications, including an integrated office suite, media player, photo editor, calendar software, webmail, instant messenger and IDE. Users can also add new applications through a feature known as the "Marketplace".
