Happy Mother’s Day to all the beautiful moms out there! The CX cloud hosting crew would like to extend our warmest wishes to everyone celebrating Mother’s Day, and we hope you all have a lot of fun spending time with your friends and families on this extra-special holiday. We at CX love our moms, too, and in honor of them, we (and our CX users) filmed some videos in honor of our moms. You still have time to shoot a clip professing your love for your mom yourself, and you get your first month of our 25GB Simply Storage plan for free just for entering. For details, click here, and enjoy the videos from our YouTube page! (more…)

At CX, we want our cloud hosting service to make your life easier, which means saving you precious time and energy when uploading your online files to your CX account. That’s why we created our desktop sync applications — with one simple drag of your mouse, you can move files from your desktop directly into your CX account, all without ever having to open up your account or upload your files.
