If you want to use cloud storage from your desktop, what are the primary use cases?

In another word, what will be the most valuable applications for you, when you can have cloud storage directly on your desktop?

Use Case 1 – A Cloud Storage Drive

Use Case 2 – Online Backup

2011-02-07_2232You want to backup files and folders, music and video to online cloud storage. Sometimes you want to do a mirror backup to mirror a local folder into cloud storage. Sometimes you want to do snapshot backup with different versions.

Use Case 3 – Multiple PC File Sync

What makes Gladinet Cloud Desktop special is not the above 3 use cases in one software body, since there are many cloud storage applications covering the same use cases.

What makes Gladinet special is the ability to support the above 3 use cases with a list of online storage services:

You control your backend storage and Gladinet will provide the front end to it with a choice of an open platform.
