I’ve been waiting for something like this to come for ages (I have no idea why i didn’t work on it myself: i guess one can’t do everything :p).
Anyhow, with the ever growing usage of the internet on various devices, one really needs to keep their files and folders in sync through out their “internet devices”. I’ve got 3 systems which i use, my desktop at home, my office laptop and my office pc.
With online storage available on all three, gone are the days when I’d have to carry a USB everywhere and hoped that it didn’t get infected with a virus (that is if i’d remember to keep it with me all the time). All I have to do now is just copy the files in a particular folder and thats it; its as easy as that. With my 512K connection, it doesn’t take much to upload files.

Some of the easy-to-use apps that I am using for online storage are DropBox and Zumo Drive.
Dropbox gives u 2GB free space; then they start charging you (this reminds me of the days when hotmail and yahoo would charge for more storage for mail space ).  I bet over time, storage space wouldn’t be an issue in this scenario as well. For now, 2 GB is good enuf. After Installing it, it creates a particular folder where you can put your files and folders for syncing. The neat part is, its available for Windows, macs and Linux as well. The not so neat part is you cannot view your files through the browser and rather you have to install dropbox to your pc so that all files can be downloaded on it.

Lately I’ve started using Zumo Drive. Its fast and efficient. It creates a 1GB drive on your system which you can use. They claim that files are not downloaded until one specificly downloads them, only an image of the file will be available. You can also use the browser to view your files and share them, its a neat interface that they have given. It will sync your iPhone and iTunes as well.  However, I didn’t see anywhere where i can install this for Linux. Hence i’m assuming that it works for macs and windows (since they support iTunes and iPhones). Overall, its an efficient way of accessesing your files.

This one other tool which I use to sync my browser (FireFox) and that is FoxMarks. Its a neat tool that manages your bookmarks and make them available on all pcs where you have foxmarks added on to your firefox. Hence if i do any searches on my home desktop, i just add a bookmark to them, and it become available on my office pc as well. This really helps me manage my bookmarks and for once I don’t have to maintain multiple backups of’em if I choose to format any system. So, i really suggest people try it.

I waiting for G-Drive to come. Will check it out and writeup on it soon.
