iTwin Cloud Filesharing USB Dongle Gets Mac OS X Support Officially

iTwin has announced earlier today that its cloud-based filesharing USB dongle has received official support for the Mac OS X operating system, enabling owners of such devices to effortlessly share files between their PC and Mac computer.

Support for the Apple operating system has been available for quite some time now, but this announcement marks the end of the beta testing program and the official support for Mac OS X.

The iTwin is a special USB dongle comprised of a double-sided splittable USB plug that enables users to share data stored in a cloud between two computers.

All the files that are moved back and fourth using the iTwin are encrypted using a military-grade AES-256 algorithm for added data safety. When two halves of the iTwin are paired, the owner is sent a Remote Disable Code via email, which can be used in the event one half of the iTwin is lost or stolen.

Furthermore, since the device relies on the cloud for sharing files, it provides users with virtually unlimited storage capacity.

“We are excited to be able to offer iTwin to both OS X and Windows customers,” says Lux Anantharaman, co-founder and CEO of iTwin.

“We are confident that Mac users will be satisfied with the features iTwin offers, and which both consumers and small businesses have come to enjoy.

“Now both Macs and PCs will have full, cross-platform capabilities with this revolutionary device that is perfect for their sensitive file sharing needs,” concluded the company's rep.

The iTwin is currently available for $99 USD from the company's website as well as from other retailers, such as Amazon. Existing customers can get the free Mac OS X compatibility upgrade from iTwin by following this link.
