Here is the announcement from Zumodrive with instructions for saving your data and MotoCast:

This is an important ZumoDrive service announcement. You are receiving this email because you have an active ZumoDrive account.

Motorola is excited to announce that we’ll be moving over to MotoCast to continue delivering innovative, cost effective solutions for accessing, sharing, and consuming your digital content. MotoCast provide seamless, instant access to all your computer's content from your smartphone, tablet or even another computer safely and securely. Stream your own music, videos, photos and files without the burden and cost of uploading to a public cloud. For more information or to download the free MotoCast application please visit http://www.mymotocast.com.

As part of this transition to MotoCast, Motorola will be shutting down ZumoDrive. After June 1, 2012, ZumoDrive users will no longer be able to use the service. Any content remaining in your ZumoDrive account beyond June 1, 2012 will be securely deleted along with all account records.

If you want to retrieve your data stored on ZumoDrive, we strongly recommend you take action as soon as possible to download it. We have made it easy for you. All you have to do is:

1. Get the ZumoDrive downloader tool from here:

- Windows downloader: https://d1tsx1og7dz7v4.cloudfront.net/ZumoDrive+Downloader.exe - Mac downloader: https://d1tsx1og7dz7v4.cloudfront.net/ZumoDrive+ Downloader.zip

1. Log in with your ZumoDrive account within the ZumoDrive downloader

2. Choose a location on your hard drive to save all of your ZumoDrive files

Make sure that you have enough space on your hard drive for everything in your ZumoDrive account.

Note: Users of HP Cloud Drive, HP Web Service Store Bundle Customers, Cruz Sync and Toshiba App Place Bundle subscribers are unaffected by this shutdown and can continue to use their ZumoDrive powered service. ZumoCast service is also unaffected by this shutdown.
