Mozy, one of the most popular cloud backup solutions (I prefer and use CrashPlan myself), can now add the Android app to the list of features its users. Decho Corp, the company behind Mozy, announced Mozy for Android 2 weeks ago but only dropped the app into the Android Market about 2 hours ago.
While Mozy caught some heat and criticism for killing off unlimited backups a few months ago, those users who decided to stick with it will find the app quite useful:
- you can browse all computers that are backed up under your Mozy account
- your files are organized using the same original folder hierarchy you would expect
- you can see photo thumbnails and quickly preview them without wasting too much bandwidth
- you can download your backups to your Android device or email/share them out to friends and family
Mozy for Android won't blow anyone's mind - the inability to upload any data to it seems to me like the most glaring omission - but if you are a user of the service, it's nice to know this official version out there in case you ever need quick access to your files.
