Mozy releases iOS client

by Chris Ward Apr 13th 2011 at 9:00AM

There are any number of online file storage and backup options these days -- Amazon's new Cloud Drive, perennial favorite Dropbox and Mozy, which I've been using for simple backups. So it's good to hear that Mozy has now released an iOS client that will allow you to view your files stored on its servers.

The app has some limitations, unfortunately. Most notably that it's restricted to the US and Canada, although a worldwide version has been promised. Also, it only works with MozyHome accounts (a version for MozyPro is on the way), and can't decrypt any backups you've encrypted with your own private key.

If you use Mozy in North America, give the free iPhone or iPad app a try and let us know how you get on with it in comments.

Paid $99 for 3-year unlimited crashplan. Couldn't be happier.

Too bad their pricing is out of touch with reality and the competition. I was a Mozy customer until they screwed users over. I dropped them immediately and went to CrashPlan. It's unlimited and much faster. And their OS X client is actually stable.

Switched to Backblaze as soon as their Mac beta program began. Mozy Mac is horrendous, and their customer service is atrocious. Backblaze has been an A+ so far.

The US only launch is the last straw for me... ACCOUNT BEING CLOSED!

Not so impressed with Mozy since they dropped their unlimited plan.

Good grief -- more negatives than positives in that release. Perhaps it was rushed out the door!
