On April 2 VMware released his iOS App related to Project Octoups.
Its description, extremely succinct, suggests how VMware wants to keep a low profile on this new project.
Project Octopus enables secure, anywhere access to files from any device. Users can share and collaborate on their files with anyone inside or outside the company.
The App is only available to members of the Octopus private beta, but the few screenshots available push to an immediate comparison with the Dropbox App.
