Originally built in C++, Verizon had an existing desktop application built years earlier and available as a download from the site. This app allowed customers to store and organize their digital media locally on a desktop and side-load content from mobile devices.
In 2012 funding was provided to envision the app again, integrated with a cloud storage service and in HTML, ending the need for customers to download new versions for updates. Below is one of the concepts. This project was shut down in 2013 due to budget cuts.
Project Mission

Strategy
Integrate with cloud storage and accommodate local storage
