Company history

Established in 2001, Dmailer’s head office was located in Marseille, France, with a regional American office in Chicago, Illinois and a local presence in Australia. The company was founded in December 2001 by Brigitte Léonardi, winner of the "National Contest for Assistance to the Creation of Innovative Technology Companies", awarded by the French Ministry for Research (ANVAR).

Product history

Dmailer first launched an email management application in 2001. In French, “demêler” means “To sort, to organize” and it was precisely the goal of the first software of the company: help people manage their emails.

In 2004, the company developed its synchronization software called “Dmailer Sync” that let the users synchronize their PCs to a portable USB drive. In the same year, Dmailer made its first OEM deal with SanDisk and developed a product called “Cruzer Sync”, which is basically Dmailer Sync but branded for SanDisk Cruzer drives.

In 2006, Dmailer started shipping Dmailer Sync along with Western Digital hard drives branded as WD Sync. In 2007 and 2008, Dmailer Sync was shipped along with Lacie and Lexar drives as “Lacie sync” and “Lexar sync” respectively.

In 2009, Dmailer came out with its backup software called “Dmailer Backup” which is shipped with Maxell, EdgeTech, Verbatim and Lexar portable drives. Dmailer Backup is also available for free as a standalone product for customers.

Both Dmailer Sync and Dmailer Backup are coupled with “Dmailer Online”, an online storage service that lets the users backup their files online in secure servers for anytime and anywhere access.

In 2009, Dmailer announced MediaMove. It is media management software that lets the user preview media files, move them from a phone, camera or MP3 to a PC or Mac and share them with friends or upload them to online media-sharing services.

Products

Dmailer offered backup, synchronization and multimedia software. The synchronization engine was included in some USB flash drives, memory cards, and external hard disk drives.

Products included Dmailer Sync, Dmailer Backup, the Dmailer Online service, and Mediamove.

Dmailer Backup

Dmailer Backup, developed by Dmailer, was a backup software for Microsoft Windows and OS X operating systems provisory that could back up and restore all of the data of the computer. There were two modes in the application: an Automatic mode, which launched a backup for all the user's data (Documents, Video, Music), and a Custom mode to choose what data would be backed up.

This software included an Online service, called Dmailer Online, with 2 GB for free (lifetime), which allowed the user to send online all the existing backup from the app. This service has been suspended, and data cannot be retrieved anymore.
