Casselberry, Florida – ChronoSync, the first choice for reliable Mac Backup, Bootable Backup and Folder Synchronization, now offers direct connections to the cost efficient B2 Cloud Storage service offered by Backblaze. So, in addition to Amazon S3, Google Cloud, and SFTP-based services, ChronoSync owners can now use the highly desirable Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage service as another option for cloud backup.

Duilio Proni, President of Econ Technologies, Inc. said “We wanted to make our B2 support robust and flexible. We make sure ChronoSync fully preserves all file attributes and metadata, including resource forks! Since ChronoSync is placing files up in B2 in a non-proprietary format, files can be accessed by any B2 Cloud Storage client.”

“We are thrilled to have B2 supported as a storage destination by ChronoSync.” said Backblaze Vice President of Marketing Ahin Thomas. “We’ve already heard from customers that are excited to benefit from ChronoSync’s robust service while taking advantage of B2’s performance and pricing. B2 Cloud Storage is 1/4 of the price of Amazon’s S3 – customers using B2 as their storage destination are empowered to do more with their data without worrying about breaking the budget.”

Besides new cloud service support, ChronoSync 4.8.6 sports additional backup efficiency, a new Dock Menu for quick access to frequently used windows and numerous tweaks along with a few bug fixes. The recently released macOS 10.13.4 update changed the way APFS volumes are initialized and mounted, resulting in additional tweaks to the ChronoSync Bootable Backup logic to continue our reliable APFS support.

Owners of ChronoSync can start using B2 Cloud Storage support free, with a simple download and update! If you don’t already own ChronoSync, download today and start the 15-day free trial. Learn what it’s like to receive significant new features free with each update by purchasing ChronoSync.

ChronoSync, the multipurpose app for local and cloud backup, bootable backup, and folder synchronizing, is designed to work on macOS version 10.10 and newer. Full working trial licenses are available or purchase ChronoSync for $49.99 (USD). ChronoSync’s companion app, ChronoAgent, allows any Mac to accept direct, secure connections from any ChronoSync Mac or any InterConneX iOS device to access or transfer data! Full working trial licenses are available or purchase ChronoAgent for $14.99. ChronoMonitor is an iPhone app that monitorsMacs running ChronoSync or ChronoAgent. ChronoMonitor is available in the Apple App Store for $3.99.

San Francisco, California – WaterField Designs, an innovative leader in custom laptop sleeves, bags and cases for digitally-minded professionals, announces the renaissance of its iconic Rough Rider leather messenger, a rugged, premium leather laptop bag reminiscent of an Old West satchel, now updated with modern features. The artisan-crafted Rough Rider reboot retains its old-world charm and its unique ergonomic strap system, and now sports a plush, padded laptop compartment and a convenient rolling suitcase pass-through. Raw leather edges combine with clean lines to create a rugged yet sophisticated look, and the thick, premium leather develops a stunning patina over time.

“We have our customers to thank for the return of the Rough Rider; ever since we retired it years ago, we get customer requests for it every week,” explained company owner Gary Waterfield. “We’ve kept the popular rough and tumble, old-world look and added functionality for laptop-toting professionals and for travelers.”

Upgrades:
* The new interior houses a waxed canvas, plush, padded laptop compartment that readily fits up to a 15-inch MacBook Pro
* Two slots hold an Apple Pencil, Surface Pen or a few run-of-the-mill ballpoints
* A rolling suitcase handle pass-through facilitates hands-free carry from airport curbside to gate
* Six premium, full-grain leather accent choices under the panel add a pop of color

Classic Features:
* Constructed of thick, full-grain leather with raw edges, it exudes an adventurous yet sophisticated look and develops a beautiful patina with use
* A dual-layer leather flap shuts securely with strong snaps and is adjustable to two lengths, so users can fill the bag to capacity or cinch it tight. Either way the bag maintains its slim profile
* An unlined interior and natural edges reveal the leather’s premium quality
* A sumptuous leather panel under the flap creates a color splash and is available in six color choices
* The innovative strap system compresses bag contents to maintain a slim profile and positions the bag snugly against the body to help ease back fatigue
* Two deep, waxed canvas pockets in the main compartment fit an iPad, iPhone and additional necessities
* A full-width, luxuriously-soft, lined pocket under the flap stows additional electronics or personal items
* A floating shoulder pad with a no-slip underside keeps the shoulder strap in place
* A top leather handle allows for a quick grab

The Rough Rider Leather Laptop Messenger’s premium materials set it a step above the competition. It is an heirloom-quality bag that could be handed down through generations. The updated Rough Rider joins a full line of WaterField messenger bags, briefcases and totes, all designed to serve busy, mobile professionals and travelers.
