    April 16, 2013

    SugarSync Logo

    SugarSync is an app much like any other standard cloud storage service such as Dropbox, Google Drive, Windows SkyDrive, iCloud, etc. However, its developers have taken a close look at these services and realized that they all do one thing - confine you to a box. SugarSync does its best to take you outside of the box that most cloud storage services confine your shared files to.

  • Stream Music From Your Menu Bar With CloudPlay [Mac]

    April 15, 2013

    A more portable laptop (in my case, an ultrabook) comes with all kinds of problems for the music enthusiast. The sound quality of Apple's built-in speakers is better than most, and I love iTunes' capabilities for organising my media library. However, anything resembling a decent music collection takes up most - if not all - of the available hard drive space. Without a gigantic hard drive, keeping a local music library simply isn't feasible.

  • 3 Ways To Speed Your Site Up With The Cloud

    April 10, 2013

    speedtest-icon.jpg

    The Cloud is the answer to all the worlds problems, it would seem - a buzzword technology that sends computing full circle right back to where it started - with a thin client model and all the power in a remote server. Economic downturn? No problem - just put it in the cloud! World peace? There's a cloud app for that. I joke, of course - but there are actually some legitimate uses for this "new" technology.

  • Can You Recover Data Deleted From Your Cloud Drive?

    March 11, 2013

    cloud storage services

    We put our files in the cloud to make things easier – we can access them anywhere and it’s our cloud storage provider’s job to keep them safe, not ours. But it doesn’t matter how reliable a cloud storage service is if you delete a file from your cloud drive and want it back later. Luckily, there are several ways you can restore deleted data. None of these methods are completely foolproof.

    February 23, 2013

    Being able to sync from our many devices to the Cloud is an awesome benefit of modern computing. We’re able to take our files with us on mobile devices, access them from other computers without the need of a device like a flash drive or SD card, and it’s an excellent solution for backing up that data that we can’t live without. Speaking of backing up that data, one of the best, but seldom used, ways to use cloud storage services is to create a redundancy backup system.

    Google Drive can be used to sync files between your computers, but that’s just one of its many features. Google wants Google Drive to be your new cloud hard drive, accessible from any device. To help make this happen, Google allows third-party apps to integrate with Drive. A Google Drive app works like a regular web app, except that it doesn’t store its files on its own web servers – it stores them in your Google Drive account.

  • BoxCryptor: Keep Your Cloud Storage Safe With Powerful Encryption [Giveaway]

    November 12, 2012

    boxcryptorgiveaway

    Cloud storage services can be a lifesaver, especially when you keep backups of sensitive data on those clouds. The downside to cloud storage is that information is constantly passing between you and the server, and that information is not always secure. Backing up important data is smart--encrypting that data is even better so others can’t snoop in on it. BoxCryptor Unlimited Business is the cloud encryption solution for you. It’s available for USD $99.99 on Windows XP, Vista, 7, and 8 as well as Mac. But this week, we’re giving away 25 copies of BoxCryptor Unlimited Business worth a total of $2,500 for FREE!

  • How To Be Completely Portable Without Your Own Computer Or Smartphone

    October 27, 2012

    Intro image 2 (crop)

    This day and age it’s pretty uncommon to not see someone with a smartphone, tablet or laptop in a public place like a library. We’ve become quite reliant on them, wouldn’t you say? So reliant, we often say we "couldn’t live without them". In my experience, I have never owned a smartphone or tablet. And there have been occasions where I’ve been without a laptop for weeks at a time, usually due to it being repaired.
