LONDON, August 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

Strato - a Leader in Developing Windows App for Online Storage

HiDrive, the online storage service from Strato, now has even more features. As well as additional HiDrive App features for Android, Strato is now introducing a new App for Windows Phone 7, making access to HiDrive even easier when users are on the go. Available immediately for anyone wanting to securely store data on the Internet, the 100 gigabyte  HiDrive package from Strato is just £9.00 per month*.  For further information on HiDrive pricing and functionality go to http://www.strato-hosting.co.uk/hidrive.

Strato is one of the first online storage providers with its own App for Windows  Phone 7, which provides even more users with mobile access to HiDrive. The App makes it easy for users to access files on HiDrive and for example, upload photos taken with a Windows smartphone directly onto their online storage. The HiDrive App for Windows Phone 7 can be installed for free in the Windows Marketplace by using the search term "HiDrive".

The new version of the HiDrive App for Android offers many additional features for mobile usage: it is now possible to stream all common music formats and many film formats directly onto the smartphone. Moreover, users can take snapshots with their smartphones and save them from the photo menu securely to HiDrive. The new version of the HiDrive App can also be moved directly to a SD card via "Move 2 SD". In this way, no internal storage space is used by the App. The HiDrive App is available for download free of charge to HiDrive customers in the Android Market.

In addition to the Android and Windows Phone 7 App, HiDrive also offers numerous secure access options from any web-enabled device; on your own computer, HiDrive can be integrated as a local drive just like an external hard disk. When using different computers, secure access is recommended via the File Manager in the web browser. HiDrive can be accessed using any smartphone via the protocol WebDav, whilst the new Apps for Windows Phone 7 and Android offer easy access.

*30-day free trial, £9.00 per month thereafter, no setup fee. Prices excl. VAT, contract period is six months, billing is six months in advance.
