DocLanding, a cloud storage service built for documents but expanding to other types of content, released the latest of its product offerings into the App Store earlier this month, the DocLanding Mobile app. Free to all users – its free plan provides 2GB of storage and its largest listed business plan charges $20 per month for 50GB – its iPhone app allows users to search, preview, share and store documents on the go.
“It just makes sense to use what we learned on the enterprise side and bring it to the businesses and consumers who have a daily need to collaborate on projects and access documents, but don’t have huge IT budgets,” DocLanding CEO Timothy Campbell said in a release. “We feel that we fill a gap in the market for those people who want an affordable option for easily storing and sharing documents without worrying about security.”
For comparison, Dropbox and Box, two well-funded competitors in the space, charge $9.99 and and $19.99 per month, respectively, for their 50GB plans. The two startups also released iPhone apps in recent years with similar functionality to DocLanding Mobile.
As evidenced by DocLanding’s string of updates following its relaunch and new CEO placement in April, it’s stiff competition isn’t slowing the startup down.

In September it released a beta version of DocLanding Desktop for Windows, allowing users to have that familiar drag and drop experience, and in October it rolled out Sync, “just put your files into the ‘My DocLanding Files’ Folder on your desktop and click sync,” its website states.
In its release, DocLanding stated that 13 million files have now been stored with its service, and though this is a small number compared to Dropbox and Box.net’s figure, it’s a start for the eight-month old relaunched company. Now, with its iPhone app released it’ll continue its push for user acquisition and product innovation.
