PowerFolder now accepting BTC (Sync/Backup/Versioning/Cloudspace)

[cschmitz]

Hello BTC Community,

we at PowerFolder are proud to announce that we introduce Bitcoin as payment option to our shop. We offer a broad array of data-management solutions that range from a sync/backup/versioning client up to Enterprise-class data-management software. We believe this is the first time you can purchase Enterprise class software, used by globally reknowned institutions such as the ICANN, with Bitcoins.

We decided to support Bitcoin quickly because we strongly believe in the pretext that everyone ought to have control over ones data and the extend of its privacy. We like to emphasize that this is not "marketing-talk" but reflected in our product portfolio:
Our Servers are hosted in various datacenters across Germany and our clients are protected by German and European Data-protection legislation. If one is not willing to trust a third party under any circumstances, cloud integration in our software can be switched off or replaced by our server-software on the customers own computing infrastructure.

I am looking forward to your feedback!

Technical Info:

We have added a module for the shopping system "Interspire Shopping Cart" to include Bitcoins:

Interspire shopping cart checkout module  ALPHA
HOWTO:
1) Create currency BTC
2) Enable checkout via Bitcoin. Add your bitcoin address to the info text
0) Copy the module into your interspire shopping cart installation
This module was copied from the COD (Cash on delivery) module. So each transaction must be manually processed now at the moment.

Do I understand correctly that PowerFolder Server is essentially a Dropbox-like solution for file storage and sharing over the Internet, except you host the files on your own server? If so, this seems very interesting.

The basic functionality set, yes, would cover what you describe. We recently released 3.0, an exhausive list of features is listed here in the release notes http://www.powerfolder.com/wiki/Server_Releasenotes#Version_3.0.0
