Gladinetとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Gladinet, Inc. is a corporation located in the United States, founded in 2008 with the goal of turning the Internet into a virtual PC by integrating cloud services directly onto a PC desktop. The company believes that this approach is better than using a web browser like Internet Explorer or Firefox as a cloud client. Gladinet Cloud Desktop is a byproduct of this view and takes the first step towards the goal of a virtual internet PC by implementing a ubiquitous cloud storage client that integrates cloud storage with the Windows file system. This level of integration improves in usability when compared to a browser based client. Files from the cloud are accessed as if they were on a local disk or a mounted network file share. To further enhance usability, Gladinet Cloud Desktop also creates file type associations between web applications and files, whether they are stored on a local disk or in the Cloud. Gladinet believes that the web is evolving beyond the browser and that full utilization of the power promised by the Web 3.0 movement, will require an integration between cloud services and the operating system.
