SYDNEY, Australia− January 7, 2015 − Kingston, the independent world leader in memory products, today announced the additional feature of cloud backup to the DataTraveler^® Locker+ G3 (DTLPG3) USB 3.0 Flash drive for personal security.

Consumers now have the option of automatically backing up a DataTraveler Locker+ G3 to their preferred cloud storage provider such as Google Drive™, OneDrive (Microsoft^®), Amazon S3, Dropbox or Box via included ClevX™ USBtoCLOUD™ software.
