Reader Tom Ricci wrote in to say that his company s new Internet file-sharing service, Mangomind, appears to be gaining some traction with users. Mangomind allows users to share files on an Internet drive that is integrated into the Windows operating system. The drive administrator can invite an unlimited number of users to access and share files on the drive. All files on the drive are protected by 128-bit encryption. Companies pay a monthly service charge for the Mangomind application.
Fees vary depending on the number of seats and amount of storage required.
Ricci reports via e-mail that the greatest interest for the product is coming from business people on internal networks who need to collaborate with colleagues, customers, clients and partners in geographically dispersed locations. He says he just returned from LegalTech, a technology summit for legal professionals held in New York, where Mangosoft introduced the Mangomind service for sharing legal documents. Next week, we ll hear from some Mangomind users to see how well the file-sharing system is working. Ann Harrison is a technology reporter in San Francisco. File Sharing archive Past newsletters.
