-Storage Made Easy enables you to manage, share, and collaborate on data from many different information clouds which are displayed in a virtual view. How many clouds you can access depends on your plan with Storage Made Easy, but users can sign up as many times a they want to access single clouds for free.  \\ \\ Storage Made Easy is packed with features and these included over the air access to files stored on multiple storage clouds, the ability to take notes that can be synchronised back to an underlying storage cloud you choose; The ability to share files over email, twitter, publicly; Collaborate with other users using business groups;   send files to your file cloud using our unique FileBox feature; access files that have been encrypted using the Storage Made Easy Cloud Gateway + many more features\\ \\ You need a valid account with StorageMadeEasy.com to use the BlackBerry Application.

If you are not yet signed up then you need to register for a free account at StorageMadeEasy.com\\ \\ When you synchronise your files with the Storage Made Easy Cloud Gateway, your files don't move anywhere.
