Pro Softnet Corporation, a leading provider of cloud storage, online backup and file-syncing solutions for consumers and businesses, today announced record-breaking use of its popular IDrive Lite app, largely due to the anticipated launch of Apple's newest smartphone on Friday, October 14.

In the week leading up to Apple's special event users of IDrive Lite – a free mobile app designed for backing up and migrating smartphone contacts to and from iOS, Android and Blackberry devices – stored over 500,000 contacts each day to IDrive's secure and private cloud. On Friday users set a single-day record of 869,503 contacts backed up.

"iPhone launch-day was busy," said Pro Softnet's CEO, Raghu Kulkarni. "We broke our previous single-day signup record and in total, customers backed up more than 4,000,000 contacts in the preceding week. IDrive Lite is possibly the world's most popular mobile phone contact backup and migration app with 85,000,000 contacts protected."

Using IDrive Lite, smartphone owners can backup their entire contact library, insuring they will never lose important names and numbers again. It offers the ability to restore those contacts to any iOS, Android or Blackberry device. Users can view/edit their information online anytime and import contacts from Facebook.
