Zapways.com Launches Free Full-Service Online Storage

Press release from the issuing company

IRVINE, Calif.---Zapways.com(TM), the first company to aggregate a host of critical business and consumer services at a single Web site, today launched the second of its three major components designed to streamline the tasks of document management, production, copy, binding and shipping for the SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) and consumer markets. Available for immediate use is the company's ZapDrive(TM) service, which offers anyone a wide range of online storage solutions accessible from any computer connected to the Internet. ZapDrive expands one's storage capacity with the freedom and flexibility to securely store additional data (virtually any file type) on the Zapways servers, thus preserving space on the user's personal computer hard drive. Key benefits include: -- 20MB Free Storage: With a free Zapways membership, users automatically receive 20MB of free online storage. -- Customizable Folder Organization: ZapDrive incorporates a familiar file folder structure to enable easy folder creation and customization. -- Custom Sort Options: Individual files and folders can be sorted by name, date, size or page count. -- Folder sharing: Files and folders can be shared with those authorized by user. E-mail notifications are automatically sent to people given access to data. Examples include a shared picture or music file for friends and family, or documents for business associates. -- Expandable Storage Options: Though 20MB is given to users for free, upgrading a ZapDrive can be done in increments of 100MB, 250MB, 500MB or 1GB for a nominal monthly fee (100MB for $4.95; 1GB for $14.95). Users can scale up or down according to their individual needs, and there are no long-term commitments. Although online storage is currently available through other means, ZapDrive is particularly unique in that it will soon integrate its online storage capability with Zapways' other two core functions -- online printing and binding and online shipping. No other Web site exists today that incorportes these three critical business functions through one centralized location. Zapways will announce its printing service in the very near future. Just recently the company announced its ZapShip(TM) service, which now makes it possible for small businesses and general consumers to easily manage and execute all of their shipping needs through one central Web site, www.zapways.com. Zapways is providing the ZapShip solution through its alliances with world-class shipping couriers. "It's no secret that small businesses and general consumers want to save time, and that's one of the exciting aspects of the Internet -- it makes many things we do more efficient," said Christina Mangram, vice president, emarketing at Zapways.com. "We're taking this a step further by filling a serious Internet void, making specific business services available through our central site. This combination of storage, printing and shipping under one roof is a compelling mix of capabilities many people have been clamoring for. We're here to deliver."
