You probably have hundreds – if not thousands – of photos on your computer. You likely also have tons of other files sitting there, as well. How do you share those files with others? Let’s kick it up a notch, and say you have a calendar, tasks and contacts to keep in sync. How do you keep all this data in sync with each other? The answer is software – which is sadly usually expensive.

I have an all-in-one workspace solution for you! Tonido is an open personal web application platform that runs on your desktop which safeguards your privacy and online freedom. It allows you to run your own personal web applications on your desktop and form your own private Tonido network. Applications and data are always local.

I may not pronounce the name right, but I will tell you this is completely awesome. It’s easy to set up, and it’s cross-platform. It’s also open source! This isn’t interesting to you if you’re off in your own little world and never interact with anyone else. But the moment you need to share a document or picture with someone else… BAM! Tonido saves the day.

I’m a little excited, yes. I’ve been waiting for something like this to appear. It’s one thing to share a file… but it’s a step beyond when you can share contacts, calendars and more as well! Normally, something like this would be hard to use and expensive. But this – is – NOT!

Try it. Love it. Live it!

Sharing files between two computers is a fairly simple task. But what happens when you need to share files with many computers, that may not all be the same operating system. Or what if the computers are all in different locations? You can do this with ease using Dropbox.

Dropbox is the easiest way to share and store your files online.

  • Works Like You Do. No complicated interfaces to learn. Dropbox runs in the background on your desktop.
  • Easy Sharing. Sharing files with your friends and family is just two clicks away.
  • Worry-Free Syncing. Sync your files automatically to your computers and the web.
  • Photos. View your photos in a gallery and share them easily with anyone.
  • It’s Everywhere You Are. Sign in and access your files from any browser or mobile device.

It is so easy and seamless to share files in a familiar interface. At least for me, I have a little icon in my menu bar that tells me how much of my available space I’ve used. Stuart Maxwell helped us out with Gnomedex. He used his Dropbox account to connect to mine, and suddenly copies of all his Gnomedex files were on my computer, as well. Man that was sweet, and so fast.

This is certainly the way I’m going to be sharing files from now on when I need to. $9.99 a month for 50GB is worth it. Keep in mind that 2GB a month is free! You don’t have to worry anymore about carrying around a USB drive. You don’t have to worry about trying to zip a file and upload or email it. This takes all the guesswork and difficulty out of sharing files.

It looks clean, and it’s seamless. I don’t like applications that take me out of my environment. This program just works for me.
