今天一大早 Mowd 收到了由 ZumoDrive 寄来的一封信,内容提到 ZumoDrive 的开发团队将会并入到 Motorola 的 MotoCast 服务下继续进行开发,并且将于今年的六月一日正式关闭所有服务,届时所有用户的数据也将会被删除。
ZumoDrive 是一间云端储存服务提供商,母公司 Zecter 在 2010 年底被 Motorola 收购。
ZUmoDrive 跟 Dropbox 一样为注册使用者免费提供 2GB 的使用空间,差别在于 ZumoDrive 仅提供储存服务,不提供文件同步功能。
在现今这个云端储存百家争鸣的时代,仅提供 2GB 的空间就让 ZumoDrive 失去了竞争力。空间上无法跟 Box 的 50GB、SkyDrive 的 25GB、Sugarsync 的 5GB 甚至是未来 Google Drive 的 5GB 相比。
仅提供云端储存而没有任何特色的服务也让 ZumoDrive 埋下了关闭的种子。
下面是信件全文:
