When we were given the chance to bring ZumoDrive to Yahoo Mail, wewere excited by the possibilities. ZumoDrive is a cloud storage servicethat gives you access to your files anywhere, with powerful sharingcapabilities. Our goal is to make using the cloud easy for everybody,and to explore ways to integrate the cloud into services people useevery day. With the Yahoo! Mail platform, we are now able to integrateonline storage and sharing directly into Yahoo Mail.

Using ZumoDrive you can quickly upload and share your photos,videos, and documents through our web interface or desktop client. Onceyour files are uploaded to your ZumoDrive, you instantly have access tothem on any computer you may be on.

Upload the photos from your latest trip into a folder and ZumoDrivewill automatically create a slideshow for you that you can share withyour friends or embed in your blog. Share a folder of documents withyour coworkers. Instantly, they will be able to add the folder to theirown ZumoDrive, creating a collaborative environment where everyone cancontribute to documents or add files for everyone to see.

Get ZumoDrive Desktop for even more powerful features. Drag and dropfiles of all types and sizes straight into your ZumoDrive and thenaccess them from anywhere. You can use all of your desktopapplications, such as Microsoft Office, Picasa, iTunes and many more toopen, view and edit the files in your ZumoDrive. Any changes you makewill be synchronized on every device you use; even the files you sharedwith others will be updated instantly.

Integrating ZumoDrive with Yahoo Mail opens up many possibilities.Our app “Share It” makes it simple to share any documents, photos, orthose tricky to send attachments directly within Yahoo! Mail. Eventhose large files that used to be a pain to attach now becomes a breezeto share. It’s all integrated with Yahoo! Mail too; simply select filesand click send, and a new email will be created along with links tothose files. The experience is made even better when you already useZumoDrive; now all of your content is at your fingertips right insideYahoo! Mail, ready to be shared. Also, unlike email attachments, filesshared with ZumoDrive can be changed even after the email is sent.

As time goes on, we plan to add more ways to connect your inbox toyour files. When you receive attachments in an email, simply drag themessage to the ZumoDrive app to add them to your drive. We will beadding more sharing features, allowing more ways to protect your files,and connecting your email conversations to shared folders. We will alsolet you track the status of your shared files, letting you know whensomeone views or edits your documents.

We are excited to be bringing ZumoDrive to Yahoo! Mail and continueto look forward to the possibilities that the application in Yahoo!Mail brings.
