Adobe Share beta

I recently did a presentation at the NJECC Conference on trends in the field of assistive technology and decided to model for my audience the shift to Web 2.0. For my presentation I decided to use Google Present, which worked out wonderfully. As I begin to migrate my presentations and documents to the web, I am always looking for a way to store my files on line. This afternoon I came across Adobe Share which is in beta right now, but it does provide a nice way to store and share your files when connected to the web. It was very easy to set up and use and allows you to invite others to share your documents, if you decide to. Adobe Share works right within the browser and like all Adobe Web 2.0 applications it looks to be done in Flash. If you get the chance sign up for the Adobe Share beta and start sharing!

Xdrive -Free 5GB of Online Storage

If you are looking to store your files on-line you may want to take a look at Xdrive which will provide you with a free 5GB account. Xdrive announced the release of the Xdrive Desktop Lite client that has been developed using Adobe Air, which once installed lets you drag files from your desktop or USB drive right into your Xdrive account. I installed the Xdrive Desktop Client today and it worked like a charm. Within minutes I was able to drag my files and have them stored on-line. By setting permissions for files you can easily share files with friends and family. Once your files are stored you can access them with any computer with any internet connection. Give it a try! If you need more space you can subscribe for premium storage plans that start at $9.95 a month for 50GB of storage.
