Which advantages will people have with Octonius?

The Octonius team has big mission: to solve the cloud fragmentation problem for businesses.

Octonius is a platform for cross cloud file sharing. It helps teams and professionals keep their work organized by providing a unique functionality: cross cloud file sharing. Simply put, using Octonius a team can work from Dropbox with another team that uses Google Drive.

When and why did you decide to start with your business?

The idea started when Cosmin (CEO and founder of Octonius) worked with Cristian (COO and cofounder) for a couple of years on multiple freelancing projects. They wanted to keep their work in one cloud, but each client was using a different cloud storage solution.

The team wanted to streamline and simplify the file sharing process, regardless of the cloud storage someone is using.
