Cool disk: Multi-terminal cloud storage

Showproject Project Description

A cloud storage service provider that supports multiple terminals. Users can implement file management and backup in cool disk, and automatically sync to PC, mobile phone, Web, not limited by time, place and equipment. B-round funding has now been completed.

Innovation Innovation

Cool disk has a common management backup service, but features in its sync function, the user's terminal is equipped with a cool disk to achieve intelligent synchronization; In addition to sharing features, such as the user and colleagues to create a shared folder, a person in the file to put anything, the next second people's cool disk is all there, work together very convenient.

User users

Have multiple mobile terminals, there are people who need to store data. Since the release in January 2011 has 6 million registered users, daily active users 50 to 600,000. The number of new uploaded files per day is more than 20 million.

Team Teams

At present, more than 70 people, mainly to do technology and product development. Huangmingming and another founder Guzhi previously had long working experience in downloading and playing technology.

Business Model Business Mode

Every user has to pay a cost. The business model we're thinking of now is a value-added service that will provide you with more and more demand. Users in cool disk storage is the user's very precious information, cool disk does not want to see personal data when users provide a stack of ads.

Harsh Potention Market Opportunities

China now has more than 500 million Internet users, and the explosive growth of mobile terminals has made the demand for cloud storage more prominent.

Question

q1:600 million registered users how to accumulate?

The current registered user has grown to 6 million. In March, when the official version of the Dropbox in China, the service is not stable, cool disk in some geek forum after the release of a group of Dropbox users understand cloud storage, about 20 to 300,000. Later started the reward mechanism, a user pulled other users can give themselves to increase storage space, by Word-of-mouth transmission power.

and app applications and Web sites, such as ES (estrongs Files Explorer) is the management of Android software, and cool disk can help users to call the software on the PC, they already have tens users, to cool disk bring a lot of users; there are also some front-end products, For example, the United States Mito, call the cool disk interface, but also bring a lot of users.

Q2: Cooperation between the likes of cool disk and LG is the cooperation of cloud storage and terminal of PC and handset, what does this mean?

Think of the TV terminal as a computer, for older users, television reduces the cost of learning, the cooperative manufacturer's TV, by opening the content already stored in the cool disk, can directly on the TV screen to see another person on the cool disk stored content, the remote control becomes a tool to turn the page.

This shows that the market for cloud services has just begun, before everyone's eyes on the PC and mobile phones, the future cloud storage may be in every aspect of people's lives, in the future all terminals may be intelligent. Driving, for example, can be a hassle to get into a car, and a cloud store might open the door in the next second, and even later in the mirror, the mirror can become one of the terminals of the cloud storage.

Q3: What's the difference between a cool disk and a traditional network disk and Dropbox product?

The traditional disk is like a warehouse in the suburbs, you will put the unused furniture or other things there, although its space may be very large, but you may not go for six months.

Cool disk to do cloud storage is to support multiple mobile terminals, currently 60% to 70% are personal documents. Whether you're in the office or on a business trip, with a mobile phone or an ipad, you can use a cool disk to get your uploaded files to follow you anywhere. The second is automatic synchronization. The previous mailbox can also complete storage, but not automatic synchronization. You also need to load, to remember which file exists, but in the cool disk, open automatically synchronized.

Companies such as Dropbox in foreign countries already have Amazon S3 (S3 refers to Amazon simple Storage service, Amazon for developers to provide the easy storage services) to provide cloud storage services, as long as the front-end services can be done, but in the country has not such a system of services, We're going to do something S3.

Last Shot big trouble trouble Problem

Cool disk is Cross-platform file system, hope that users do not feel the impact of the front-end operating system, itself to support all platforms more difficult. Secondly, the domestic network environment is more complex. The issue of interconnection between state-owned telecom and Unicom. In the north of the user file is uploaded to the Unicom server, if the south, to the file from the Unicom network to the telecommunications, which will be in many nodes to set up proxy server. It makes you think the speed is the same everywhere. There is also an education network, sometimes a school four floors in four networks are not the same, there are more than 20 small operators.

Ask mentor last question

Want to ask MA: Tencent, such a large company proposed by the open, how exactly open? Is it a slogan or is it good for developers?

The question of CBN NOTECBN

The first is that cool disk offers a unique service that is very similar to Apple's icloud service, the other is not familiar with the cloud outside the Apple users, let them get rid of the traditional network disk, believe that the security of cloud storage, need more energy and cost input; After the increase in the number of users, the speed of the requirements of the service will bring greater pressure.
