The story

CloudMe was founded by Daniel Arthursson in 2012 and is mainly owned by Xcerion. The company runs its own servers and operates from Sweden. In 2012 CloudMe received the Red Herring Top 100 Global company, AlwaysON Global 250 award, White Bull 2012 Yearling Award and the White Bull 2014 Longhorn Award.

Previously CloudMe.com was called iCloud.com, but the service changed name after Apple acquired the domain and trademark for a rumoured 4.5 million dollars. For a while visitors to icloud.com were directed to cloudme.com. After the name change, the former iCloud.com service was split into two companies and services, CloudMe for file sync and storage, and CloudTop as the virtual cloud desktop that previously was the main attraction of the iCloud.com service and included file storage. Xcerion, the major owner of CloudMe and CloudTop initially gained an investment of $12 million to build the iCloud service.

Using a SaaS model, the CloudMe service is provided in a free version (3 GB storage up to 19 GB with referral program), a model often called freemium, and premium versions with either 10, 25, 100, 200, 500 GB storage for consumers, 2 TB and 5 TB for business. The closest competitor to CloudMe is Dropbox.
