VIDEO: Demo of QuickIO - Stream from Mac to iOS Device

Quik.io, a new mobile application and service, today announced updates to its iPad and PC/Mac applications - allowing users to stream, while multitasking. Quik.io is poised to change how consumers access and share their personal content by empowering iPad users with the ability to instantly access, download or share their media files on their computers through network connections - whether by Wi-Fi from home, a hotspot or over 3G/4G.

Here's how Quik.io works.

Download and install Quik.io apps to your iPad and PC or Mac. Sign in to Quik.io using Google, Facebook or an email account. A Quik.io user can then choose videos, music, photos and documents to instantly stream to an iPad from a PC or Mac. The direct connection via Quik.io service avoids the long upload waiting time and storage limits often seen by the cloud-based services.

And with Quik.io it is easy to select files to download to an iPad to enjoy when off the grid - commuting, away from home or at the office -- anytime, anywhere. Sharing files with selected friends and family is easy. Just "Quiksend" them an invite to allow them instant access to stream or download of a media collection. Imagine sharing personal videos and photos instantly, without worrying about file conversion.
