AcerCloud
makes it easy to take photos on a smartphone while on the go, and then
view them on a main PC at home or in the office, without the delay and
complication of manually transferring files. It also allows users to
purchase a movie from an all-in-one PC, and then watch it on a tablet or
smartphone on a train or airplane. As long as the main PC is in sleep
(standby/hibernation) mode, Acer Always Connect technology can wake it
up through Wi-Fi® so media can be retrieved via a mobile device.
AcerCloud, meanwhile, intelligently uses local and cloud storage
together so all data is always available. Other features of AcerCloud
include:
There are three parts to the service – PicStream which handles
pictures, AcerCloud Docs (a Dropbox-alike), and clear.fi Media for media
sharing. It allows you, for example, to move a video file from your PC
to your phone and then to your tablet. Presumably this has to happen on
Acer gear.The service is not yet available but you can grab more information here and the press release follows.
