All Your Files, On All Devices, All the Time (Without Syncing)

2014-04-21-260-Anchor-cloud.jpg

That’s right. There’s a new cloud in town and this time it’s personal.

The name is younity and this killer App is unlike any other in that it privately stores all your files, but also syncs your information on all your devices (it doesn’t store your information online like iCloud, and you can make it available for offline access).

Here’s what the tech junkies are blogging:

  • It's the most powerful App I’ve found in a really long time. It's like your own private cloud.
  • Wow – I’m totally sold. It's incredibly private and secure, unlike Apple cloud.
  • When I tested this app, I thought there would be an upsell... but there wasn’t. It's totally free.
  • After syncing my devices I was like... NO, it can't be possible that it does that... but it so does!
  • This cloud service changed my life and the way I do business.

The Who, What, When, Where and Why of Younity

So, what are the goods on younity and how does it help us as investors?

Younity is an application available on iOS, Mac, and PC developed by Entangled Media. It makes having access to the files on your Mac or PC available on iOS anywhere, anytime they’re needed.

With younity, your computer acts as the cloud storing your files, while younity uses the internet to access them. Younity developers refer to the application as the glue between each of the devices to communicate with desktop and mobile.

Younity is so sweet because it will give us investors (or anyone, really) the ability to:

  • Access and share all of your media, files, photo albums and playlists - without syncing or planning ahead.
  • Search, access, and share files directly from the younity App on your iPhone and iPad that are stored on any computer - regardless of storage or OS.
  • Make your files available to access offline by storing them in local storage, until you erase them or they self-destruct.
  • Media is optimized to play in seconds - no uploading or buffering.
  • Access and sharing from your younity personal cloud is unlimited, secure and totally private. Regardless of the number of files or storage space needed on your Mac or PC, younity will make them available. Add as many computers, laptops and external hard drives to your personal cloud as you like. In fact, the more you add, the more benefit you gain.
  • The "personal cloud" is completely private. No one else can access it or your files.

Think of the Possibilities…

Here are just a few scenarios of how this handy-dandy App can help us as investors:

Scenario #1

You just brought a property you would like to immediately list to flip, but the pics and information are on your laptop at home (and you aren’t)…

No problem. Younity gives investors the ability to access and share photos that are stored on their computers or external hard drives right from their iPads and iPhones.

This means that you can post photos directly onto Facebook, Twitter, Flickr or Weibo profiles from any location in the world, even when you don’t have access to the device where your photos are stored.

Here’s more awesome stuff younity helps you do:

  • Import and edit any photo via your favorite photo apps on iPhone and iPad
  • Post any photo to your Facebook, Twitter, Flickr or Weibo profiles via the iPhone or iPad
  • Search all your photos across all of the devices in your younity personal cloud
  • Copy, save and print photos (and documents) directly from your iPhone and iPad

As an investor, you use a lot of technology and storage to get the job done and network/share with other investors. But, somehow cleaning your storage space never seems to happen…

That’s okay. Younity enables us to access all files stored across multiple devices (without syncing and without storage limits). Younity also recently introduced an ephemeral file-sharing feature that allows users to privately share photos, music, videos and other files with friends for a short period of time before they self-destruct or the user chooses to un-share them.

Scenario # 3

You’re at the airport waiting to board a plane. You’re going to meet-up with some partners (or investors/lenders you want to impress) and the video you didn’t have time to watch (but really need to) is downloaded to your PC at home…

Watch it now by accessing your PC through younity. Younity allows us to access not only our personal files, but also allows us to search and browse any needed information on the internet on any of our devices instantly.

Scenario #4

You are on your way to meet a buyer, potential lender, or you’re just going surfing and you really want to listen to a particular U2 song to psych yourself up. The problem is that you downloaded it under your wife’s iTunes account on her computer (your teenage daughter was using yours, natch)…

Doesn’t matter. Access your private information instantly using younity.

As investors, getting organized and doing business quickly and efficiently means more success. However, it has to be done securely. This is why I give younity my official thumbs-up. The sky is the limit using this cloud (sorry, I had to say it).
