CloudMe
CloudMe combines cloud storage, synchronization and file sharing across computers and mobile devices. Users can choose which folders sync to each computer, including keeping personal folders off work machines. Shared project folders let members contribute documents and changes, and people without CloudMe accounts can follow published pages. Scheduled upload-only folders keep an offsite copy; regular two-way synchronization mirrors deletions and is not a backup. The mobile app supports camera roll backup, music and video streaming, sharing, and reading PDFs, documents and other files. CloudMe supports WebDAV clients, and Apple's Pages, Numbers and Keynote can open, edit and save documents directly to it. It also offers more than 100 API methods through SOAP and REST, plus a Java library. CloudMe says it operates its own data center and hardware in Sweden, within the European Union. The free account includes 3 GB of storage and a 150 MB file size limit. Listed platforms include Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web and Windows.
