This documents the SMEStorage API. SMEStorage is a multi-cloud storage provider and allows S3, CloudFiles, Box.net, MobileMe, SkyDrive, Gmail, Email-as-a-Cloud, FTP etc to be used together in a virtual file system as well as providing value added services

Introduction

SMEStorage provides a shared multi-cloud file system which is an entry point to multiple clouds. SMEStorage is the fastest easiest way to integrate your organisation, product or service with multi-cloud storage support

It is important to note that SMEStorage is not a storage service in the traditional sense. It leverages a variety of different clouds for storage and provides an access point for your data. You are always in full control of your data.
