Yuntaa Launches Virtual Desktop for File Management

Yuntaa is an online desktop application that lets you store and share your digital media from a central location. Yuntaa is a hosting service, so you’ll have to pay to use it based on the amount of space you’d like to have. There is a free plan for you to use, though.

With this service, you can upload your images, music and videos, share items with the community, and manage all of your files. Yuntaa is designed to mimic your desktop, granting you a few desktop widgets for things like the time and your account info (which can be moved, but not deleted), and easy access to your files. The Yuntaa Manager is a downloadable application that lets you drag and drop items from your computer to Yuntaa, and also select files from your hard drive to be backed up on the site. These files can be automatically updated with the sync function and scheduled to occur on a regular basis.

There are a few community features within Yuntaa as well, giving you access to public files and other user profiles. You can make friends, comment on other media, save copies and download public files as well. The community functions of Yuntaa are not very developed though, and it wouldn’t be fair to say this is much of a social network. For example, sharing an item only gives you the option of sharing it with the community, or with Yuntaa friends.

It would be interesting though, to enable Yuntaa users to leverage this service as a collaborative file management tool, similar to Egnyte. Allowing Yuntaa to be used in a similar manner to sites like Zoomr, as a file hosting service for those that display media on their social networking profiles, including MySpace, hi5 and Piczo, wouldn’t be much of a stretch either.
