Google Drive Review (Video Included)

Who doesn’t love free file storing and sharing application? Not too long ago we looked into another kind of file storing and sharing service known as Dropbox. It wasn’t one of the best services but it is up there. But later down the road I started to see more and more advertisements for Google Drive (read: what is Google Drive?). Through their applications it looked like nothing more than a bunch of office applications in one program, so I decided to do a little more research into it and found out it was another file storing and sharing service offered by Google.

Dropbox Free Cloud Storage App Review

There has been a lot of problems with sharing files over the past couple of years. Mega upload going down the drain for violating copyright policy and rapid share will most likely follow in the same pit. However when it comes to sharing files it is more than just sharing songs or something like that. It can be sharing important project files that allow for more people to continue work and development on the project until it’s finished. I would like to introduce to you “Dropbox” a free file sharing service that works like a charm.

How to Compress Files: Best Solutions

I do a lot of work for people over the web. Which means I end up having to send them large files that are full of text files, video clips, animations, photos and sometimes .exe files. The problem is that these are inevitably too large to be posted through a standard email, some having to be sent through a program like DropBox or uploaded onto something like RapidFile.

Usually, I try to keep everything together. The easiest way to do this is by compressing the files and sending them in a much smaller bundle that has been reduced the megabites to a more manageable number. Making it possible to send more through attachments without going over the maximum allocated amount.

This is also helpful for system backups, as I can keep everything in a compressed file that lets me fit more onto a flash or external hard drive. All just come of the benefits of using a standard file compression software to manage your desktop and folders.

All platforms have a basic program that comes installed standard, though usually in a trial version. You will have to buy a real version within 30 - 90 days, depending on what program it is. Unless you download an open source, free to use program in its place.

Here is a list of five different compression softwares that will offer you the best solutions.
