Unified storage

Idea: Store files over the cloud, access from any device, share with whomever you want.
Application : DropBox

Why is there all buzz about cloud??? To an extent i agree to the idea of storing information over the web for people to access and not to bloat the email attachments.
I came across this nice application to store my files into some unknown hard drive, which i hope will be available to serve me always anywhere i connect to the internet.
Well it sounds good, but never put something sensitive into someones computer.

Cool thing i like about this is the sharing part.
It works on all devices PC,Mac,Linux,iPhone,Android.

Managing cloud storage

Idea : Storage management aka explorer software for PCs and Mac
App : CloudBerry explorer

I liked the idea of cloud storage for storing files over the cloud, but i was too tired to sign into my account everytime and choose a upload or download operation when i first got my google storage free account.
I was thinking of writing my own desktop app with google storage REST API to access my account. But i was lucky to find this app cloudberry explorer.

It works smooth and easy to setup, haven't tried with the EC2 amazon thingee, they want me to pay and free trial.
Cool thing i liked about this app is a) it is free, b) it works, c)work over firewall, d)easy to setup.
Also do not forget to try their online version.
