Eazel was an American software company operating from 1999 to 2001 in Palo Alto[1] and then Mountain View, California.[2] The company's flagship product is the Nautilus file manager for the GNOME desktop environment on Linux, which was immediately adopted and maintained by the free software movement. As the core of Eazel's business model, it is an early example of cloud storage services in the form of personal file storage, transparently and portably stored on the Internet.
