humyo.com Closes Beta With Over 100 000 Users and Almost 90 Terabytes of Data


LONDON, March 19 /PRNewswire/ --     Online storage service, humyo.com today closed its beta phase
after six months of testing and product development. Over 100,000 users have
already signed up and are storing 89.9 terabytes of content from word
documents to videos and music.

humyo.com was founded by Dan Conlon as a means to provide an
easy to use, safe and secure storage space for personal files, accessible
from any computer or a mobile phone. Offering 30GB free space with an option
to purchase more, humyo.com gives users space to store and share data no
matter where they are. It negates the inflexibility of leaving your data at
home or at the office and the risk of loss, theft or damage that comes from
taking your files around with you in your pocket or on your laptop.

humyo.com offers a unique set of features to suit a data and web-reliant
society:

- Directly share their content with friends

- Automatically embed a media player in emails and on social
networks like Facebook and MySpace by which to display media content

- Stream content to a mobile phone, with humyo.com
automatically detecting the capabilities of the phone and sending media to it
in the correct size and format for optimum digital enjoyment

- Edit documents online from any PC - ensuring that the latest
version of any file is available wherever the user is

As well as being accessible through the website interface, users can
access their storage space through the downloadable client, which mounts
humyo.com as an extra drive on their PC. Files can then be dragged and
dropped as suits and accessed even when the PC is offline. Available now for
Windows, a Mac OS X client will be available in the near future.

"The beta phase has been really successful," says Dan Conlon. The fact
that over 100,000 users are already storing such a huge amount of data shows
the demand for a secure, easy to use service. The majority of the services
out there at the moment are pretty exclusive in terms of their usability. We
designed humyo.com for the average computer user whether it be our parents
storing photos or kids storing music.

If people actually calculated the financial and sentimental value of the
data that they keep on their computers, I think they would be surprised.
Storing copies online will provide insurance against disaster."
