Polkast is a personal cloud service: . Polkast connects your mobile devices and computers directly, giving you secure access to all of your files from any of your storage devices. You keep control of your content, there are no storage limits or storage costs, and no additional hardware to buy. When your devices are on the same local network, Polkast connects directly over WiFi, so you get lightning fast file transfer.
We built Polkast to serve consumers and business users who have multiple (smaller) devices — especially tablet users, who expect easy access to their content. Managing content scattered across devices is a hassle, and cloud storage is not cost-effective for the huge content libraries now common in our digital society. It makes more sense to connect the devices directly. You don’t have to think about what to upload to the cloud, or even remember where you stored the file. You always have access to any file stored on any of your computers.
