Como cosas "negativas" tiene unas cuantas, por una lado no puedes mover los archivos de una carpeta a otra una vez subidos, lo cual desde mi punto de vista es un fallo porque tienes que crear antes la carpeta y teniendo claro que luego no podrás mover nada, por otro lado no hay una barra o indicador que te dé una idea aproximada de lo que va a tardar en subir los archivos que elijas y esto va unido a la lentitud a la hora de subir los archivos, bien es cierto que la mayor parte del problema es que el ancho de banda de subida normalmente es mucho más reducido que el de bajada pero bueno.

Finalmente este servicio por lo que he podido probar lo recomiendo, lo que vaya descubriendo al respecto intentaré comentarlo así que mientras, a disfrutar de el.

Por que no subirlo a un servidor como rapidshare, mega o badongo?, se han de preguntar, porque a parte de ser tardado solo puedes descargar una vez cada 1 o 2 horas dependiendo del tamaño del archivo.

Por eso ire subiendo softwares regularmente, claro que no podran ser softwares pesados como: photoshop, flash o dreamweaver, ya que skydrive solo permite un limite de espacio de 4 gb.

Iré quitando algunos e iré subiendo otros, tratare de que los software sean los mas actuales.

Todos los software que están en mi skydrive son full, algunos traen su crack, pach o serial, dependiendo de la aplicación. He aquí una captura de las aplicaciones que pueden decargar.

Espero sus comentarios para saber si esto les interesa y si necesitan algo en especial pidanlo y haber si lo puedo conseguir y subir.

Firstly, how Gmail is better than Live mail.

1. The free version of Gmail doesn't ever show you any annoying banner adverts.  Okay so you get text adverts on the right of your browser screen but they're hardly what you could call distracting.  To get rid of the adverts in Live mail you have to upgrade to the pro version at £15 a year.
2. The amount of storage you get with Gmail is significantly larger than the 5Gb you get with Live mail and there are tools to allow you the option to use the space for general backup, which you can't do with Live mail.
3. POP access just works in Gmail, you have to pay £15 a year for it with Live mail.
4. Google provide a nice piece of software I can run on my mobile to easily check my email.  With Live mail I have to do it in a clunky browser and type my username and password every time.  How old-fashioned!
5. Gmail isn't blocked by my, and many other I'm sure, company firewall like Live mail and Hotmail are, 'cos it's not so much of a target for crims.

But where Live mail excels.

1. The Outlook connector and the Windows Live Mail software work brilliantly and don't require you to pay the £15 a year POP premium!  These packages also banish the banner ads you get with the webmail and don't store anything locally unless you specifically ask them to.  Setup with them is as easy as typing in your email address and password, blissful compared to my clunky old Outlook setup.
2. With Gmail I had to use third-party software to sync my Calendar and Contacts, and I could never get it to work properly.  Synchronisation of emails, calendar and contacts between the web and my local email software just 'happens' when I update something.  This is seamless synchronisation the way it should be.
3. I can UPLOAD email to Live by dragging and dropping it into the appropriate folders in Outlook or Windows Live Mail.  This means I can move up to the web useful archive emails like registration codes, serial numbers, tech support questions and important emails from family and friends.  You can remove stuff from the web for local storage and archiving just as easily.  This is arguably the most useful feature I've yet found.
4. I much prefer the three vertical pane, Outlook'esque view in Live mail to the rather old-fashioned Gmail view.  It makes it much easier to read emails.
5. Live Calendar provides much easier ways to share and view your calendars on other devices and with more software than Gmail does.

In all Gmail does more, but what Live mail does it does it to the Microsoft mantra that 'it just works with a quick wizard' completely doing away with complicated setups.  I do say that Gmail pop just works too, but it's WAY more complicated than using Outlook connector or Windows Live Mail where you just type your email address and password.  If you already have a Hotmail or Live mail account I'd encourage you to try Windows Live Mail or Outlook Connector straight away.

I've also been playing with Skydrive on Live Spaces and Office Live, Microsoft's kind'a similar to Google Docs service, having already previously played with Live Mesh.

It absolutely baffles me that these are three seperate services!  I'm sure Microsoft must be working on a way to integrate them all but come on guys, this is ridiculous as it stands.  Also 5Gb is perfectly reasonable to offer as free storage but there's zero option to upgrade to more storage unlike Google which does offer an upgrade.  Only Yahoo! come off worse with a paltry 30Mb... why are they even bothering?

So what's on my wish-list?

1. Windows Live Mail desperately needs Live Calendar integration.  I could have put the lack of this down to Live Calendar still being in beta, but it's part of Outlook connector so what's the problem?
2. As stated before, Office Live, Skydrive and Mesh meet integrating badly and Microsoft need to offer more storage too.
3. Windows Live Mail lets me circumvent the firewall block at work and get full access to my email there.  Hardly ideal 'cos I'm tied to a single PC but it's better than nothing.  This is nothing to do with Microsoft, I just want want the company I work for to unblock Hotmail and Live mail.  After all they offer unfettered access to Gmail and Yahoo! mail so what's the big deal guys?

Speaking of Windows Live Mail you might be wondering if I've switched to it from Outlook.  I have, but for no better reason that after seven or eight years of using Outlook I fancied a change.  Windows Live mail is also an extremely good and fully-featured mail package, way better than Yahoo! Zimbra Desktop that I used to use to access my Gmail at the office.

The original article that helped me choose Live mail can be found here.

So how else are things going?  I've been uploading photos to my Live Spaces photo gallery today, exploring the new services.  I've not been able to upload anywhere near as many as I wanted to (you get a healthy 500 a month and unlimited storage) as the first time I uploaded a lot that weren't watermarked and had to delete them.  I've now gotta wait 3½ weeks to upload the rest... FRACK!

I haven't been able to decide whether to stick with Outlook as my email client or switch to Live Mail.  I like the chumminess of Live Mail after years with Outlook but where's the calendar support?  I'm prepared to forgive this as Live Calendar is still in beta.  I'm sure it's coming so I'll stick with Outlook for a while longer.  There's also the small point that Google still doesn't offer ANY kind of calendaring service.  Until this week I've been limited to checking my calendar at home only and printing out anything relevant for trips away.

It's funny but since doing all this dumping Google thing, I've begun to explore the web in ways I've not done before.  Almost like I'm taking ownership of my own little part of it with a new photo gallery (let's face it, Flickr and Ringo were just mean on the total number of photos you could put online) and this blog.

If you wanna look in my public SkyDrive now though you'll find loads of useful documents I've uploaded from IT support stuff, including my Vista Power Users Guide, to last will and testament templates and my guides to putting a killer CV together... go nuts!

Ultimamente la necessità di spazio sui nostri Hard-Disk sta diventando sempre maggiore, vuoi perché i file sono diventati sempre più grandi, o perché ci sono sempre più cose interessanti da scaricare, lo spazio a nostra disposizione sembra non essere mai abbastanza.
Sulla rete sono presenti numerose società di hosting gratuito che ci offrono la possibilità di archiviare e condividere i nostri file, molte di queste società forniscono agli utenti una piccola quantità di spazio, altre danno maggiori possibilità di archiviazione...vediamo cosa ci viene offerto.

Filedropper: sorprendente, tutto quello che bisogna fare è cliccare "Upload" e scegliere un file dal nostro computer.
Molti servizi di hosting gratuito offrono agli utenti la possibilità di caricare file non più grandi di 100/150MB, Filedropper ci consente di caricare file di dimensioni fino a 5Gb(!!!).
Quando l'upload sarà terminato Filedropper ci darà un link per poter condividere il il nostro file, o in alternativa un codice per aggiungerlo a siti o forum.

Badongo: straconosciuto, uno dei migliori e più utilizzati servizi gratuiti di hosting.
Come utenti non registrati avremo la possibilità di caricare file non più grandi di 1GB fino a un massimo giornaliero di 4.8GB; mentre come utenti registrati potremo caricare file sempre non più grandi di 1GB ma fino a un massimo giornaliero di 12GB.
Oltre al servizio di hosting, Badongo ci offre anche altri servizi interessanti, come la possibilità di creare un lettore MP3 per il nostro sito, una slideshow di immagini con molteplici effetti, un widget da aggiungere al nostro sito per permettere a chiunque di scaricare direttamente i nostri file e un'applicazione desktop per effettuare l'upload ed il download dei file in modo rapido.

Eatlime: altro servizio molto buono, anche qui potremo caricare file non più grandi di 1GB, ma, a differenza di Badongo, non avremo nessun limite giornaliero.
Basta cliccare "ADD FILES" e scegliere il file dal nostro computer, tra i servizi provati è risultato il più veloce in termini di upload e download.
Per condividere il file caricato potremo usare un link o inserire gli indirizzi email delle persone con cui desidereremo condividerlo.

Windows Live SkyDrive: il servizio di hosting gratuito di Microsoft.
Questo servizio ci offre uno spazio disponibile di 5GB e la possibilità di caricare documenti, foto e video non superiori a 50MB.

Altri servizi di hosting che meritano una segnalazione sono:

FileFactory che offre la possibilità di caricare un massimo di 25 file non superiori a 300MB, e, tramite un programma di affiliazione, la possibilità di esser pagati per i download ricevuti dai nostri files; Fileqube, sito con un'ottima grafica e un massimo di 150MB per file; MyFreeFileHosting, con una dimensione massima del file di 100 MB; e Fileden con dimensione massima di 100MB.

Per ultimo ho voluto tenere quello che probabilmente è il servizio migliore, almeno per quanto riguarda lo spazio offerto.

ADrive: previa registrazione, questo servizio di hosting ci offre ben 50gb (50!!!) di spazio gratuito on-line per archiviare e condividere i nostri file.
Nel nostro account potremo creare directory, scaricare file, trasferire file dal web direttamente nell'account e caricare file dal nostro computer.
Per essere utilizzato ADrive richiede l'installazione di Java.

Grazie a Makeusof

Pliki mogą być umieszczane w folderach: prywatnych, dostępnych dla wybranych użytkowników lub publicznych. Usługa proponuje użytkowników zapisanych na liście komunikatora internetowego MSN; można też dodać inne adresy poczty elektronicznej. Każdy z tych użytkowników może mieć prawa czytelnika – oglądać pliki ale bez możliwości ich zmiany lub redaktora – oglądać, dodawać, zmieniać i usuwać pliki. Można w ten sposób wspólnie pracować nad dokumentami czy pisać razem artykuły.

Można tworzyć całą strukturę folderów, jest to równie łatwe jak organizacja plików w Microsoft Windows. Każdy folder i każdy plik może mieć krótki opis. Znane typy plików mają miniaturowe ikony; co ciekawe nie ma ikony dla bardzo popularnych plików PDF.

Dostępne jest 5 GB, jeden wgrywany tam plik nie może mieć więcej niż 50 MB, co wyklucza filmy, ale nie wyklucza plików z muzyką i niezbyt długich teledysków. Sporo miejsca, na kopię zapasową ważnych dokumentów czy nawet kolekcji cyfrowych zdjęć.

Usługa SkyDrive jest bezpłatna; konieczne jest tylko posiadanie konta w Windows Live (na przykład w poczcie elektronicznej HotMail). Istnieje wiele podobnych internetowych dysków o nawet większej pojemności. Nie ma tu funkcji synchronizacji z plikami na lokalnym komputerze, dostępnej w podobnych usługach.

Wygodne jest zintegrowanie z całym pakietem Windows Live, który wydaje się być budowany jako przeciwwaga dla podobnego pakietu usług Google.

The FREE services include:

-Box.net (1GB free, share with friends, uses SSL)

-Windows Live Skydrive (5GB free, uses SSL, share with friends)

-Omnidrive (site unavailable at time of this post)

-Oosah (1TB free, drag and drop interface, share with friends, create slideshows; galleries; playlists)

Probably the most popular not-free service is Amazon's S3, which is also accessible using JungleDisk.

Thanks to a growing range of services, it's now possible to keep all your personal digital information in the Internet "cloud", as they're calling it these days. Everything from documents and e-mails to photos and music can be stored -- often for free.

The benefits of storing your digital life this way are considerable. You're no longer tied to a particular computer or location, and you can access your data from any Internet-connected device.

There are a vast number of Internet-based storage services available and growing user demand is leading to some of the world's biggest IT companies offering more. Interest surged recently when Microsoft launched its SkyDrive service (see below) in more than 30 countries around the world, including Australia. Meanwhile there are strong rumours that Google is planning a similar service, likely to be called GDrive, that will offer masses of online storage space to anyone who wants it.

The Internet storage services we've chosen for this round-up can be divided into two categories: those intended primarily for storing and sharing files, and those designed specifically for backups. While some can be used for both, a quick check of their features will determine what they're best at delivering.

Microsoft SkyDrive
Storage capacity: 5GB | Cost: Free

SkyDrive is part of the growing range of services that form Microsoft's Live portfolio. Having been in beta for around 12 months, it was released to the public earlier this month.

It offers 5GB of password-protected storage, and is designed to be used as an extension to your computer-based storage. To access the service, you'll need to create a Live ID or use an existing Hotmail or Messenger ID. This becomes your identity when using SkyDrive as well as other Live services.

Once logged in, you're presented with a simple interface in which you can create folders in one of three categories: personal, shared or public. Personal folders can only be accessed by you, shared folders by friends or associates you approve, and public folders by anyone.

Uploading files is simple: you can either select them from a list, or install a small ActiveX control that allows them to be dragged and dropped onto a box on your screen. To retrieve a file, just click on its icon within the folder.

MediaFire
Storage capacity: Unlimited | Cost: Free

At first the MediaFire storage service seems too good to be true: unlimited storage space for free! Yet the company continues to power ahead, claiming to have more than 500,000 users around the globe. It's obviously following the strategy of building a following first and figuring out the money bit later.

Unlike other storage services, you can use MediaFire without registering. This is possible by the site storing a cookie on your computer, which not only means you're limited to accessing your stored files from that machine, but if you delete the cookie, you'll lose access to your files -- so take our advice and register for a free account!

While MediaFire offers unlimited storage space, it does enforce a 100MB limit per file. In practice this poses little problem, as the vast majority of files you'll want to store will be smaller than this. More annoying is that while you can upload up to 10 files at any one time, they must be individually selected -- which can make the job of storing large numbers of files quite tedious. In its favor is a slick interface, which provides an estimate of the time any uploads will take to complete, and the speed they're transferring at.

MediaFire doesn't have a restriction on the volume of uploads or downloads you can make each day, making it an attractive option for frequent sharers. Uploaded files can be password protected and stored in multiple folders as needed. You can also set certain folders to be accessible by friends, while keeping others personal.

Xdrive
Storage capacity: Up to 50GB | Cost: First 5GB for free, then $9.95 per month for up to 50GB

Operated by AOL, Xdrive offers a useful 5GB of free storage space. Should you need more, up to 50GB can be purchased for $9.95 a month, or $99.50 per year.

To use Xdrive you need to create an AOL username, and then an Xdrive account. Once in, the interface is clean and easily understood. Files can be uploaded by selecting them individually, or you can use the service's Java-based Accelerator Plus feature to upload multiple files simultaneously.

There's also an Xdrive Desktop Lite application that allows files to be dragged and dropped from any connected storage device directly to your Xdrive account.

Like some of the other online storage services, Xdrive allows you to share the contents of selected folders with other people. They can also be accessed and downloaded from any Internet-connected device.

Mozy Online Backup Home
Storage capacity: Unlimited | Cost: 2GB for free, unlimited for US$4.95 per month

Bought by storage equipment company EMC in November last year, Mozy has been a popular remote backup service since its launch in 2006. The company claims to have around 400,000 consumer and 10,000 business customers around the world.

Mozy offers both Home and Pro services. We used the Home service, which costs US$4.95 a month for as much space as required. There is a free service for those who like to try before they buy or have lesser needs, which offers a handy 2GB of space.

To use Mozy you'll first need to install an application. This tests your connection speed and then scans your hard drive, generating a recommended list of files that should be backed up, including e-mail, contact lists, documents and photos. Switching to expert mode allows you to add to or remove files from the recommended list.

Then you select when you want backups to occur: either a continuous mode where data is transferred whenever your computer is not busy, or you can specify a set time each day or week.

Once the initial upload of all files is complete (a process that can take many hours if you have a lot of files), Mozy continues to run in the background whenever your computer is turned on, monitoring for changes to files and adding them to your backup. Access to backed-up files is via a simple Web interface.

Box.net
Storage capacity: Up to 5GB (Individual plan) | Cost: 1GB for free, 5GB for $7.95 per month

Box.net is designed specifically for people looking to store files online and easily share them with family and work colleagues. It comes in Lite, Individual, Business and Enterprise flavours, each offering different storage capacities and price structures.

The Lite option provides 1GB of storage to which you can upload individual files of up to 10MB in size. There's also a 10GB per month bandwidth limit which covers both uploads and downloads. Choosing the US$7.95/month Individual option gives 5GB of storage and the ability to upload individual files of up to 1GB in size. There are no download or upload bandwidth limits.

Files can be uploaded individually or users can opt for the Java-based drag-and-drop feature that allows entire folders to be uploaded in a single action. Files can also be e-mailed directly to your Box.net account. This can be a handy way of keeping a copy of all e-mail attachments you send, by simply copying them to your box.net address at the same time.

You can also use the service to host photos and files used on blogs or services such as eBay. Simply upload the required files and then place the generated link on the appropriate page.

If you're on the go, Box.net also has a mobile access service. By calling up m.box.net on your mobile Internet device, you can access all your stored files.

A algum tempo eu fiz um detonado sobre o incrível Live Writer que você pode dar uma olhada na barra lateral de Detonados, nele eu falei sobre todo o potencial dessa bela ferramenta para postagem de blogs que é o Live Writer. Faltava uma opção, que eu não quis revelar na época mas que ficou pronta mais rápido do que imaginava, trata-se de um utilitário para cópias de segurança.

O Windows Live Writer Backup Utility, uma ferramenta extramamente útil para quem posta com certa frequência e não quer correr o risco de perder postagens, rascunhos, plugins e as configurações já determinadas.

Como não podia deixar de ser, o aplicativo é super simples de usar, seguindo bem o modelo do Writer – campeão de simplicidade. Selecione os itens que você quer fazer backup e pronto. Os itens suportados são configurações do Blog, rascunhos, recentes e plugins.

Depois de ter instalado WLW, você poderá restaurar as configurações anteriores usando o recurso restaurar, isso irá sobrescrever todas as configurações atuais.

.

In der webbasierten Anwendung  kann man seinen Wünschen entsprechend, mehrere wahlweise nach Themen geordnete Ordner anlegen. Dabei ist zu unterscheiden zwischen öffentlichen bzw. privaten Verzeichnissen. Private Verzeichnisse lassen sich mit Passwörtern schützen, so dass diese nur ausgewählten Personen zugänglich gemacht werden können.

Ein großes Manko an diesem Service stellt die notwendigkeit eines Microsoft accounts dar, welcher jedoch bei der Nutzung von verschiedenen Services eventuell schon vorhanden sein könnte.

Darüberhinaus ist die Uploadgröße einer einzelnen Datei auf 50 MB begrenzt, was den Umfang der möglichen Dateien einschränkt.

Wer sich dennoch diesen Service etwas genauer ansehen möchte kann sich auf folgender Seite informieren bzw bei vorhandenem Account bereits einloggen & den Online-Speicher nutzen

Windows SkyDrive

Dentro das novidades observamos que neste novo beta está a aparição de uma caixa destinada a mostrar nossos "contatos favoritos" (aqueles com quem conversamos mais frequentemente) para que possamos tê-los sempre visíveis na parte superior da lista de contatos, vendo mais informações sobre eles (os veremos como se tivesse ativada a opção "Mostrar detalhes dos contatos"). Além disso, poderemos observar as ações recentes destas pessoas (upload de fotos ao Space, arquivos compartilhados no SkyDrive, etc.) diretamente a partir do Messenger, no estilo lifestreaming.

Também devemos destacar a integração com o Windows Live Groups, a qual nos permitirá levar os atuais chats entre vários usuários a outro nível, dando-nos a possibilidade de compartilhar arquivos entre várias pessoas diretamente a partir da interface do Messenger, ou de comunicarmos com todos os membros do grupo mesmo quando alguns não estiverem conectados. Além de podermos realizar videoconferência coletivas entre todos os contatos que pertençam a nossos grupos. Cada grupo aparecerá em nossa lista de contatos como se fosse um usuário, e se mostrará online se pelo menos um dos integrantes estiver contectado.

Para evitar confusão com os "grupos de contatos tradicionais" foi decidido renomear estes últimos como Categorias, e assim deixar clara a diferença entre estas verdadeiras salas de chats permanentes das listas que nos servem para agrupar e classificar nossos contatos.

A interface também mudou um pouco, e pelo que parece não será implementada a nova GUI baseada no Windows Presentation Foundation que havíamos comentado. A mudança mais evidente é o desaparecimento do efeito cristal iluminado que havia no topo da versão anterior do Messenger, substituindo-se por um cabeçalho mais coerente com a futura interface web do Windows Live.

Também os cabeçalhos das pastas de conversação adquiriram este novo design, e além disso estão menores para deixar mais espaço para as conversações de grupo, que é certo vão começar a acontecer mais, graças as características de integração com o Windows Live Groups. Além de, por alguma estranha razão, as imagens dos contatos passaram para o lado direito.

Outra coisa muito interessante é a recém aparição da função de compartilhar fotos, a qual basicamente nos permite ver slideshows de fotos junto a nossos contatos, da mesma maneira como fazemos hoje quando trocamos os sons e outras coisas, só que compartilhar fotos dá a impressão de ser um pouco mais útil.

Não sabemos se esta funcionalidade vai se estender no futuro a outros tipos de arquivos multimídia, como música e vídeos, se vai estar integrada com as fotos do Spaces, ou se será liberada a API para permitir compartilhar fotos a partir de outros serviços como Flickr, Facebook e Picasa.

Essas são as novidades que temos por enquanto, as quais já nos mostram a natureza das características chaves que a Microsoft guardava tanto segredo: contatos favoritos com lifestreaming e a possibilidade de compartilhar fotos. Todavia estaremos na espera da interface alternativa baseada no WPF, que estaria cheio de transparências, animações e funcionalidade drag & drop das que tanto desfrutam alguns aplicativos.

E também pode ser que na versão final apareça alguma "característica surpresa", por que tudo já aponta que esta será uma das atualizações do Windows Live Messenger mais carregada de novidades do que as que tem acontecido nos últimos tempos.

Microsoft ha sacado un servicio de almacenamiento on-line con una capacidad de 5 GB llamado SkyDrive, para utilizarlo solamente es necesario una cuenta windows live (la del msn). Para mas información visitad www.todoslospendrivesvanalcielo.com.

La noticia de este servicio me llegó en un momento en el que intentaba mandarle un archivo muy grande a un amigo (3,53 GB) y se me ocurrió que podía utilizarlo. Me meto en la web anteriormente mencionada y me sale un mensaje de que tengo que instalar un programa, voy a instalarlo y no me deja ¿? me dice que no se puede utilizar en mi navegador (Opera), así que me toca usar firefox ¿¿?? (Opera NO pero Firefox SI, desde cuando a microsoft le gusta programar para software libre). Lo bajo, lo intento instalar y no me deja, reinicio el navegador y lo vuelvo a intentar, ahora si que me deja, me pide que reinicie el navegador otra vez (esto es una estrategia de windows para que vayas asimilando que reiniciar es algo muy normal).

Una vez con el programa me intento meter en el servicio SkyDrive y me sale que introduzca mi cuenta windows live (cosa que no tengo), tengo que crearla y me meto.

Una vez dentro intento subir el archivo pero acabo desistiendo. ¿Por qué desisto? muy sencillo, tengo una velocidad de subida de 30 KB (si, kilobytes, ya se que debería hablar en kilobits, pero así es mas sencillo de hacer los cálculos), pero que en realidad usaba una pequeña parte del total. Calculando lo que tardaría en subirse el archivo usando toda la velocidad era increible: si 30 KB son un segundo, 3500000 KB es X, nos sale que X es 116666 segundos aproximadamente, que son unos 1944 minutos, unas 32 horas.

¡¡32 HORAS!! Para subir el archivo, muchos dirán "es para almacenar muchos archivos pequeños", MENTIRA, la gente quiere mucha capacidad para archivos grandes, si quisiera almacenar archivos pequeños usaría otros servicios como Diino, y si quisiera mandarlos usaría streamfile.

Si se quiere mandar archivos grandes es muy importante tener una buena conexion con bastante velocidad de subida, pero aún así si luego el servicio solo utiliza una pequeña parte pues vamos jodidos.

Si tu intención es subir archivos pequeños te lo recomiendo totalmente, yo seguiré usando mi pendrive Kingston de 4 GB.

Saludos.

No Windows Live Skydrive você tem 5Gb de espaço para guardar seus documentos, você pode compartilhar ou não a pasta com os seus documentos, estou usando para guardar meus arquivos, assim deixo no meu pen somente aquilo que realmente preciso.

se quiser dar uma olhada, http://get.live.com/skydrive/overview, se você quiser ver a pasta que eu falei acima INTELIGENCIA COMPUTACIONAL.

até mais pessoal...

Notice: You should read this before you read below in order to know what you are reading about. I will be discussing the usage of Windows Live Foldershare and SkyDrive. Foldershare is a software that allows you to network with other computers via the Internet, facilitating encrypted transfer of files (think of the potential: share animes, musics, etc - even grab that powerpoint presentation you forgotten to bring from your home desktop to your laptop). SkyDrive is a browser based storage cloud which gives you up to 5GB of storage space on the net, and allows uploads of up to 50 mb (5 GB is alot for free software, normal file hosts would charge US$5 for 5GB lol). At this point, if you are already discombobulated from the jargon, please eat something strawberry related to rejuvenate yourself =)

Although it might take less insightful individuals a while to realise that technology is scary (therefore Novea is an insightful individual), even a blockhead would realise the disastrous dangers a slight mistake could precipitate given sufficient administrative rights and a definitive demonstration. Today, I surfed to many places on the Internet in a bid to find a suitable and idiot-friendly VPN (short for Virtual Private Network) software which would allow me to distribute and share porn files with my peers under encryption so that Big Brother wouldn't be able to tap into our network. As a big advocate of open-source software, I first pinged upon the usual providers but it seems you need to possess a geek-like level of computer wizardry to establish even the rudiments of a TCP/IP network protocol, not to say a fully functional VPN. In despair, I drowned myself in the depths of the Internet and met the evil entity known as "Microsoft".

Ok, bear with me, I know half of you are going into standby mode at all the network jargon of VPN, TCP/IP, intranet, star topology, blah blah, but hang on, more pictures are coming up!

Microsoft, the company responsible for your computer crashes one of the two companies at the forefront of Web 2.0, is the dominion of computer operating systems and hegemony of many user based software, like Live Messenger, Word, Access, etc. Because of its huge influence, Microsoft is widely criticised for hoarding a monopoly in the computing sector. That's why it's evil - to other companies/competitors that is. But for individuals like us, Microsoft is a god-send in providing us with essential services that are useful, efficient and free - discounting its OS of course.

Foldershare is is a free-to-use application brought by Microsoft from ByteTaxi Inc. on November 3, 2005, and made part of their Windows Live range of services.

Installation is a quick and painless process - you download an extremely small 1 MB package from the website and install it. Voila! You are now VPN enabled. Then, you follow some simple steps to create an account - using your email address and your password (I think it's possible to give a different password) and Bravo! your computer is now ready to be be part of your own private intranet. (Note the small icon at the bottom right of your screen/taskbar). Right click on the icon. This will be where you access the folders shared between you and your peers. At the moment it's empty because you haven't established any yet. Click the bold link to the Foldershare website instead, and you will get the screen below

See my account email address? Feel free to add me to any of your networks=)

Personal libraries - If you have downloaded the Foldershare software on multiple machines, say your home desktop and your laptop, you can turn the home computer into a server by synchronizing a folder each from the two computer. That means that whatever changes you make to your home desktop (etc, adding a file) will be reflected in the synchronized folder in your laptop. If you want to micromanage, you could select Manual Synchronization, where the files and subfolders in the synchronized folder will show up as small 1kb  listings from which you can choose what to download.

Shared libraries - Same as personal library, except that it is between other accounts

Remote access - This is a cool feature which lets you access everything in the machine of yours. Just click and download. Examples below

We are now going to explore my D:\ drive

Gasp! Omg, my privacy is at stake here!

Now, how do you add members to your VPN? First, click "Create a shared library" at the webpage and follow the instructions to make a shared folder. Then, all you have to do is to add the email address of those people you want to set up a network with. It's that easy!

As you can see, there are many permission levels you can allow a person to access.

A caveat though, I suggest you DO NOT set anyone's permission level beyond Contributor. When I first set up a VPN with my computing classmate, with him as the server and me as the client (Editor level), after downloading a file to sample, I deleted it because it takes up space. Guess what? The same file in HIS computer got deleted too. When I went to my recycle bin and restored it, the file was also restored at his side. Scary isn't it?

After you click Next, you will be led to a page to send an email to the person you wish to share the folder with. The person will then receive the message, either through his inbox, or more quickly, through the message pop-up from the icon at his taskbar. To accept the invitation, you would have to go to the Foldershare website, click on the name of the VPN folder, select your computer and choose a matching folder in your computer to synchronize with. I suggest you create a new folder for the purpose. This is a one time only process, the next time you want to access the network, you right click on the taskbar icon and choose the folder from there.

Ok, that's all for Foldershare. I think there is no need for me to write a guide to SkyDrive because it is so intuitive. Oh, and by the way, this post was written offline on Windows Live Writer - I merely clicked Publish to have my words, pictures and all uploaded to the wordpress.com server when I am online again. Cool eh?

Windows Live SkyDrive oturumu açtığınızda kontrol sizdedir. Parola korumalı çevrimiçi dosya deposu. Her yerde ve her zaman kullanıma hazır. Oluşturduğunuz her klasör için, klasöre kimlerin erişebileceğini seçebilirsiniz. İstediğiniz zaman yeni klasör ekleyin, klasörleri yeniden adlandırın veya kimlerin erişebileceğini değiştirin.

Her zaman gerek duyduğunuz yerde:
* Internet erişimi olan herhangi bir bilgisayardan erişilebilen, 5 GB ücretsiz çevrimiçi depolama alanı.
* Kişisel, paylaşılan ve ortak klasörler oluşturun -- her klasöre kimlerin erişeceğine siz karar verin.
* Windows Live SkyDrive, Firefox 1.5 veya üstü ya da Internet Explorer 6 veya üstü bulunan tüm Windows veya Macintosh bilgisayarlarında sorunsuz çalışır.

Dosyalarınızın korunmasını nasıl sağlıyoruz:
* Kişisel klasörleriniz Windows Live ID'niz kullanılarak parolayla korunur; böylece yalnızca siz erişebilirsiniz.
* Paylaşılan bir klasör oluşturduğunuzda, klasörü paylaştığınız arkadaşlarınızın kendi Windows Live ID'leri ve parolalarıyla oturum açmaları gerekir.
* Çevrimiçi bankanızda olduğu gibi, tüm dosya aktarımları Güvenli Yuva Katmanı (SSL) kullanılarak korunur.

Kişisel:
* Yalnızca size ait olan önemli dosyaları yedeklemek için kişisel klasörler kullanın.
* Herhangi bir bilgisayardan Windows Live ID'nizle oturum açacak dosyalarınıza erişin.
Paylaşılan

Paylaşılan:
* Paylaşılan klasörler iş ve sınıf arkadaşlarınızla birlikte çalışmayı kolaylaştırır.
* Her kişinin paylaşılan her bir klasörde ne kadar denetimi olduğuna siz karar verirsiniz. Bazıları yalnızca klasördekileri okuyabilir, diğerleri ise dosya ekleyebilir ve silebilir.
* Paylaşıma dahil olan herkes kendi Windows Live ID'sini kullanır.

Ortak:
* Ortak klasörler sayesinde, Internet'teki herkes dosyalarınızı görebilir ancak değiştiremez.
* Ortak dosyalarınızı diğerlerine göstermek mi istiyorsunuz? Kendilerine bir bağlantı göndermeniz yeterli! Her klasörün ve dosyanın kendi web adresi var.

Per chi non lo sapesse, SkyDrive è un servizio di storage che vi mette a disposizione ben 5 GB per uplodare i vostri documento, in modo da averli disponibili ovunque.

Questo servizio ha da poco subito un pesante aggiornamento che lo rende ancora più "funzionale". In particolare sono stati aggiunte il pulsante "Visualizza", che permette di cambiare modalità di visualizzazione dei files e la cartella "Preferiti", che consente di memorizzare i link ai siti.
