MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.: Egnyte, a provider of on-demand file server solutions, today introduced Blackberry and Android device interfaces that allow small business users secure access to all their business files via their Blackberry or Android-powered smartphones.
According to a study, which was commissioned by Egnyte and conducted by market research firm, Decision Analyst, accessing business data 24/7 from a mobile phone was the number one factor in an SMB’s mobile business strategy.
Egnyte’s on-demand file server enables both Mac and PC business users to have online file storage, file sharing capabilities and automatic backup in one solution. The new interfaces, which require no additional software installation on the device, leverages a mobile drive -- "m Drive" -- that lets mobile users access all of their data stored via the Egnyte file server, said a press release.
For existing Egnyte users who use a Blackberry or Android-powered smartphone, the new user interfaces allow businesses and professionals to easily navigate folder hierarchies and open and share files using their Blackberry or Android device keypad or touch screen.
“We realize that smartphones are critical to staying connected while on the move,” said Vineet Jain, CEO of Egnyte.
“With our m Drive capabilities, iPhone, Blackberry and Android users have secure and immediate access to all their files no matter where they are located,” he added.
