I’m sure many of your readers are interested in an easy way to manage their Cloud Files containers and objects .. especially, for those who’d like to have more than one user but don’t want to give out access to their whole admin panel!! There are many options to access Cloud Files by a single user, but we needed a way to create sub accounts, assign containers, etc..

Enter, Cloud9.
*****
Cloud9 is a new web-based service that allows users, or Web Designers/Programmers, to manage their Cloud Files more easily. It’s accessible, secure and fast. Basically, it improves upon the Mosso Cloud Files manager in these ways:

1) Multiple file uploads!! Up to 20 at a time! No more waiting, file after file, or trying to teach our clients how to use Cyberduck / FireUploader, et al. Easy online access from nearly anywhere.

2) You can create unlimited ‘user’ accounts and give them access only to containers that you assign to them. Unlimited Users, Unlimited Containers.

3) You, as the admin, stay in complete control over the users, containers, objects (files), etc. You have global read/write/delete access.

4) Each user can manage their own objects (files), upload/delete, etc. as well as add containers to their user account without taking up your valuable time.

5) It’s super easy for you and your clients to use.

6) Each file name listed in a container is pre-linked to the file, so using the URL for that file is as easy as, Right Click, Copy Link!

So, be sure to check it out.. it’s pre-launch time and everything is getting the file check off for the launch date… Cloud9 will be issuing a limited number of FREE accounts during the beta phase. After which, the service will start a little above that Venti Mocha Frap you had last week, and will offer plans for different usage limits :)
