History
The inception of Gladinet focused on embedding cloud services directly into PC desktops instead of using web browsers as cloud interfaces. The company created a cloud storage client that seamlessly merges cloud storage with the Windows file system. Gladinet Cloud Desktop also linked file types with web applications for files stored locally or in the cloud, supporting platforms like Google Docs and Amazon Cloud Drive.
