the data storage software Gladinet allows Windows users to mount cloud storage as local folders in Windows Explorer. Supported are not only online storage services like Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3), Google Picasa, Windows Live SkyDrive, Google Docs and Folders from remote PCs but also online applications like ThinkFree. A later to be released premium edition will add new applications including Picnik, SnipShot or Zoho to the mix. The services are integrated into Windows Explorer with one drive letter that builds the root of all online storage services, applications and remote PC connections that are configured in the Gladinet data storage software.
Each can then be accessed like any other folder in the Windows operating system. Integrating Google Docs would for example display all documents that are stored in that service on the local computer desktop. Gladinet will automatically synchronize the folders whenever data is edited, added or removed from one of the installed data storage services.
New online storage services and applications are added by providing authentication information in a simple form, usually the username and password to access the service online. Some, like WebDav servers require an url, IP or additional information besides the basic authentication data.
Gladinet runs in the Windows system tray on the local computer system from where it can be accessed and configured. It only takes a few clicks to add a new online storage service in the software. The professional and premium editions of the service add new features to the software including:
- Advanced Task Scheduler/Manager (Run Once or Recurring with Pause, Resume and Reschedule Support)
- Incremental Backup to Mounted Cloud Storage (with File Type Filtering*)
- Advanced Download/Upload Acceleration Technology (Compression, Chunking, Parallel Uploads/Downloads, Bandwidth Throttling)
- Encrypted Local Profile and In-Memory-Only Profile for Better Security
- IIS/Apache Support (Avoid Port 80)
Users who regularly work with the previously mentioned cloud storage providers might want to give Gladinet a try.

Very unstable
indeed. this would be a perfect application if it weren’t for the often crashes. i guess i will just have to wait for a more stable release because i still haven`t found an alternative for it
so how safe is this? when i upload to adrive or skydrive ? is data encrypted such as with jungle disk and cloudfiles? whats the difference?
