Gogobeans has introduced a cloud storage and sharing service with a twist.

Files uploaded to a Gogobeans account are protected by a four-tier security layer that specifies access levels and sharing rights. "Beans" are authorizations to access a file.

Files are shared by "bouncing a bean" via email, text message or popular social media networks such as Facebook, Twitter and Digg. Users can also easily search their cloud-based digital locker by entering a keyword or file name.

Gogobeans provides up to 1 Gigabytes of free storage with a 25 MB limit on file size. Monthly subscriptions are available starting at $5 for additional storage and enhanced feature options.
