In response to the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene, PrideStaff, a nationally franchised staffing organization, has launched a GoFundMe campaign to support its Asheville, North Carolina office.

FRESNO, Calif., Oct. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — In response to the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene, PrideStaff, a nationally franchised staffing organization, has launched a GoFundMe campaign to support its Asheville, North Carolina office. The Category 4 hurricane made landfall on September 26, leaving the area severely damaged and cutting off access to essential resources such as food, water, and electricity.

Challenging times bring out the best in our team, and we’re banding together to help. The GoFundMe campaign is an effective way to make an immediate, positive impact on the individuals at the heart of our business.

PrideStaff employees and associates in the Asheville area have been deeply affected by the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. Several employees experienced severe damage to their homes, including flood and fallen tree damage, with three employees losing everything. In response, PrideStaff has provided essential supplies to impacted employees and has shared critical information about disaster unemployment assistance to help them through this challenging time.

The Asheville office, which was hit particularly hard, is currently operating without water or internet, and mobile hotspots have been unreliable. Although a temporary office has been set up to manage payroll processing, there is no estimated timeline for the full restoration of services. PrideStaff’s relief fund aims to assist employees and associates during this challenging time, providing critical support for their recovery efforts.

“We’re extremely grateful that our Home Office organized this fundraiser to help our employees whose homes and livelihoods were impacted by Hurricane Helene’s devastation,” said Della Taylor, SHRM-CP, Owner/Strategic-Partner of the PrideStaff Asheville office. “Although the hurricane hit weeks ago, several clients are still not open – or not open at full capacity.”

“Right now, many of our field associates cannot work and need help to offset the loss of income, home and work supplies, household items, and other expenses incurred due to Helene,” continued Taylor. “This GoFundMe campaign is our way to help them get back on their feet, start working again, and rebuild their lives.”

“Our people are the reason PrideStaff continues to grow,” said PrideStaff Co-CEO Tammi Heaton. “They work hard to provide for their families, and Hurricane Helene left many unable to earn a paycheck. Challenging times bring out the best in our team, and we’re banding together to help. The GoFundMe campaign is an effective way to make an immediate, positive impact on the individuals at the heart of our business.”

– OpenBoxLab Inc. releases RaiDrive for Linux following the global success of RaiDrive for Windows
– Compatible with various Linux distributions to enable a wide range of Linux users to utilize RaiDrive’s powerful features
– CEO Chongho Kim: “We will provide innovative solutions that meet user needs”

SEOUL, South Korea, Oct. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — IT solution service company OpenBoxLab Inc. (CEO Chongho Kim) announced that on September 27, 2024, it officially launched RaiDrive for Linux. This allows users to experience RaiDrive’s powerful features on various platforms, following the establishment of RaiDrive for Windows, released in 2017, as a global leader in cloud storage gateways.

To make the easy and powerful features of RaiDrive—such as support for major global cloud storage services, an intuitive interface, file locking for collaboration, local disk functionality useful for file sharing, floating licenses, and support for 35 languages—available on a wide range of Linux platforms, RaiDrive for Linux has ensured compatibility with various distributions. These include Debian-based distributions like Debian, Ubuntu, elementary OS, Linux Mint, MX Linux, Pop!_OS, Zorin OS, Raspberry Pi OS, etc.; RPM-based distributions such as Fedora, CentOS Stream, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), Amazon Linux, AlmaLinux, Oracle Linux, Rocky Linux, openSUSE, SUSE Enterprise Linux (SLES), etc.; and APK-based distributions like Alpine. Detailed compatible Linux distributions can be found on the official RaiDrive website.

RaiDrive is cloud storage gateway software—a desktop application that allows users to use various remote storage services like a USB drive. By integrating major global cloud storage services with the local file system, it provides easy and convenient file accessibility and management efficiency, enabling users to open, edit, and save remote files directly without downloading them. Since its launch over eight years ago, RaiDrive has succeeded in becoming popular, being used in more than 200 countries worldwide, and has established itself as a global leading desktop application in this field.

Continuing the philosophy of contributing to enabling more users to conveniently use cloud storage, RaiDrive for Linux also offers a Standard Plan to meet the needs of individual users and small teams, through which up to eight mount points can be used for free.

In addition, it provides a File Lock feature that can be very useful in collaborative environments such as shared document work. This feature maintains a locked state so that other users cannot modify the file while one user is editing it, preventing data conflicts and loss, making it a very useful tool for teams working on shared documents. Particularly, its compatibility with office suites such as Microsoft Office, LibreOffice, and OpenOffice is considered an advantage.

OpenBoxLab CEO Chongho Kim stated, “RaiDrive for Linux is a solution developed by actively reflecting the needs of existing RaiDrive users, focusing on enhancing the remote file management experience of various cloud storage services by utilizing upgraded features. We will continue to advance our services and plan to expand so that RaiDrive’s powerful features can be used on various platforms in the future. OpenBoxLab will continue to do its best to provide innovative solutions that meet user needs.”

Meanwhile, RaiDrive for Linux can be downloaded from the official RaiDrive website, where detailed installation and usage guides are also available.
