Plus, the mobile app can now back up contacts, photos and videos and make them available online as well.” “With a single account new customers can back up as many computers and mobile devices as they want and then view their files from any of those connected devices or on our website. “We’re excited about the latest updates to IDrive,” said Raghu Kulkarni, founder and CEO of Pro Softnet Corp.
