Exciting Things Afoot

January 18 2011

We’ve had a very exciting year — especially the past few weeks — and we’d love to share it with you.

More Choice, More Savings

CloudApp Pro is only $5 per month! Not only that, but we just tore the shrink-wrap off our new store offering pay-as-you-go plans with even more savings. Buy CloudApp Pro for 1-year and only pay for 9 months!

If you’re a current Pro subscriber, snag a new Pro plan and we’ll handle the rest. Don’t worry if you have a few days left on your subscription; we’ll credit your new plan.

If you have a keen eye, you’ll notice we switched from euros to dollars. This is an effort to help many of our customers who are being bamboozled by their banks in the form of foreign transaction fees. While we have no say in how fees are assessed, we’ll do anything in our power to help you avoid them. If you’re being charged any fee in addition to your CloudApp Pro plan, let us know. It’s the only way we can help.

We’ve learned a great deal about billing since rolling out subscriptions 3 months ago. Mainly that reoccurring charges can’t be trusted — at least not with our merchant account. Many of you have experienced issues with subscription billing ranging anywhere from credit card rejections to the inability to begin a subscription. We’re still seeking a resolution from our merchant account, but the new one-time plans solve many of our subscription niggles.

PayPal

You read that right. PayPal! It’s been a hugely requested feature and we’re proud to announce you can buy any of our new plans using PayPal. There are many reasons why people have been unable to purchase Pro using a credit card and this is just one more option for them.

One Hundred Thousand!

We reached a huge milestone: there are over 100,000 people using CloudApp! The reception has been staggering. You’re recommending CloudApp to your friends and colleagues and it’s been amazing to watch the steady, continued growth.

Applications

More and more developers are choosing to integrate CloudApp into their applications. For example:

Courier by Realmac

Upload images, photos, movies, and other files to your CloudApp account by simply dragging them into an envelope. Courier will ensure they make it safely to their destination. Available on the Mac App Store.

FluffyApp

FluffyApp brings CloudApp goodness to Windows, and there was much rejoicing! Upload by dragging files onto a taskbar icon just like CloudApp for Mac.

iOS

If you’d like to browse your uploads on your iPhone, check out two great options: Cloud2go and Cloudette.

Looking to the Future

With your support, CloudApp has gone farther in 2010 than we thought possible. What started as a simple idea has turned into a thriving business in only a few months’ time. We’re thrilled and greatly humbled that you find CloudApp valuable enough to trade your hard-earned money; we don’t take this lightly.

We’re only getting warmed up. Our sights are set high for 2011 and we can’t wait to show you the fantastic features we have up or sleeve.
