We are excited to announce 3GB of FREE storage where you can store all your research articles with annotations, everything backed up in the cloud and available on multiple computers. We have been testing cloud storage with a few users and last week quietly rolled out cloud storage for all existing users to get initial feedback, but now it is official!

All your attached files will be secure and encrypted with 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard, one of the strongest security mechanisms available.

Over the summer our geek squad was churning code to bring some exciting features requested by our user community. This includes mobile apps for iPad, iPhone and Android to access your research while on the go, a browser bookmarklet to add publications from your favourite browser and many more to be announced this month.

When you signup with an academic or organisational email, you will get 2GB of storage with no charge.  Just let us know about your experience with colwiz at feedback@colwiz.com, and we will increase it to 3GB for free.  It can’t get better !!

See the tutorial on how to attach files with publications in this video on YouTube. Now you will be able to access attachments with notes and annotations from colwiz web, your office computer and home laptop on Windows, Linux and Mac platforms (with iPhone, Android, iPad soon).

Keep an eye on our Blog, follow colwiz on twitter or like on Facebook to stay updated with new feature announcements.

Thanks everyone for the great feedback during private beta. Now we are opening invitations to researchers at academic institutions. Signup or ask one of your colleague for an invite who is already using colwiz.
