SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Jul 23, 2013) - Stream Nation today announces its private cloud for all consumer media, and solves a massive problem in the process: Secure media storage of videos, photos, and movies, accessible anywhere, from any device. Stream Nation is available now at www.streamnation.com, starting from a free account up to 10GB and with premium accounts ranging from $4/Month for 100GB to $20/Month for unlimited storage -- the best value of any cloud storage solution available.
Stream Nation is the first cloud storage solution dedicated specifically to media. Stream Nation's simple and elegant user experience is visually oriented, making it easy to upload and access media. It sits in stark contrast to other cloud storage services presented to the user in a system built around data rather than the media itself.
There are two major problems with existing cloud storage solutions like Dropbox and iCloud. The first is that they aren't set up in a way that makes sense to users; they fail at being intuitive when accessing large media files. The second is that they often don't fulfill the promise they made to users to 'just work' all the time. Stream Nation is poised to address these challenges for consumers across devices and platforms, allowing members to share privately in an interface that's built to make media look beautiful.
Users can upload using a Stream Nation app from their iPhone, iPad, Mac, Windows PC or even via a URL from the web. Once uploaded, Stream Nation members can access photos and watch videos on any connected device, with the files transcoded and streamed via adaptive streaming technology that recognizes and adjusts to deliver content using the appropriate format via the available bandwidth.
Founder Jonathan Benassaya co-founded music service Deezer, and drew on his experience in the digital media world to create the most accessible and user-friendly cloud storage service on the market.
"Mobile devices and digital cameras allow us to create HD content in huge volumes but don't come with a simple solution to store, access, and share them securely," said Jonathan Benassaya, founder of Stream Nation. "Online storage solutions focus on documents and not personal media, which actually makes up the greater part of personal storage. This is the problem we set out to solve with Stream Nation. Our cloud solution combined with a media-centric user experience ensures media remains secure and accessible in any situation. Eventually, users will be able to create their digital legacy."
Stream Nation members have the option of securely sharing their photos or videos with friends and family who are also on Stream Nation; granting access to content without it ever leaving his or her account.
Videos are transcoded and photos are resized in the cloud, so users can access their media from any device and in any situation. The platform is the only one of its kind to support all major video codecs (avi, mp4, mkv, etc.) and photo formats (jpg, png, raw, cr2, tiff, etc.).
All content is stored and backed up on Stream Nation's own private cloud and on Amazon cloud storage to ensure complete redundancy and constant availability. All original files can be retrieved at any time, in their original format.
