We have just released some improvement tweaks to mobile site. We think you’ll be pleased with the outcome, and this will allow you to view your files more appropriately.

The mobile site now features the following:

• Thumbnail view – Folders that contain mostly images or videos will now be displayed in a thumbnail view.
• Improved File View – Viewing individual files and images is now easier thanks to an improved layout for the file view.
• Long file names – Full file names are now shown in the file listing, with the ability to scroll horizontally to see the full name.
• Condensed listings – File listings now make better use of screen space allowing you to see more at once.
• Modified dates – Last modified dates are now lited below file names in list view.
• Improved consistency between mobile devices.

You might have heard that we just completed the sale of our business to Trend Micro.

Back in the January of 2007, I’d been retired for 6 months after deciding to leave web hosting behind and travel the world. Canada is a beautiful country but in January, it’s cold and wet.

So humyo was born on a wet Wednesday in a Montreal hotel.

At humyo we like to keep things simple, so in an effort to give new users access to all features from the word go, we now populate new users account with a wide range of sample files.

The purpose of this is to give new humyo users the opportunity to get to grips with the “ins and outs” of humyo without the need to upload anything straight away. There are a couple of MP3’s for you to stream on your mobile, a few movies to watch on the Media Player and a nice welcome guide to walk your through your first steps with humyo.

We hope that these sample files will help new users discover some of the features beyond our secure backup synchronisation solution and show the true potential of online storage.

For anyone interested in viewing the welcome guide, you can do so here.
