Jolicloud’s Jolidrive adds search to its cloud-based services hub

Jolidrive

Jolicloud’s missions have been many over the years, from its initial open-source Joli OS ambitions to its brief stint as netbook manufacturer and now an identity as a cloud-based services aggregator. But one thing’s remained consistent for the Paris-based outfit: a willingness to listen to user feedback. This is what prompted Jolicloud to once again update Jolidrive, a dashboard for third-party cloud apps, with search. As you can see from the image above, users will now be able to index any of the cloud-based apps they’ve integrated into their “dashboard,” making the service a truly convenient multimedia hub. This updated search functionality is just the latest in a string of tweaks (e.g., the ability to share and like) Jolicloud’s been rolling out to improve its cloud drive in recent weeks — all thanks to the clamoring of users like you.

The upgrades will ship within 30 days and cost $449 and $299 for the Pro and Standard versions, respectively — so if you’ve no time for frivolity on that new slate, check the PR for more info.
