Migo Software

Migo Software, founded in 2005 and based in Redwood City, United States, operated as a provider of software development services. The company has since been reported as deadpooled.

The company's flagship product was a synchronization software, also named Migo, designed to work with Kingston's DataTraveler USB drives. This software enabled users to capture and synchronize their main computer's data, including desktop images, files, folders, and email items, onto a portable drive. Users could then access and use their personalized desktop environment on a secondary or guest computer by plugging in the DataTraveler drive. The software would temporarily personalize the guest machine's wallpaper, files, and internet settings to match the user's main computer, ensuring privacy by leaving no data behind once the session was over. The target market included mobile workers, users sharing machines, and those who needed to access data in public places.

The business model centered on providing a portable work environment. Migo did not replicate applications; for a program to be available on a guest computer, it needed to be pre-installed on that machine. The software supported synchronization of settings for browsers like Internet Explorer and Firefox. The Migo device was sold in different storage capacities, such as 128MB and 256MB units.
