Free Cloud Storage Tools for Mobile Users
In this day and age everyone is turning to free cloud storage providers to save all their important data including documents, music, photos and even podcasts. Besides, an increasing number of services are turning towards the cloud in order to enhance their security. A few years ago, it was essential to have hard disk space on your mobile device or your mobile but now thanks to cloud storage this is no longer necessary.
Because there are so many new free cloud storage tools that keep cropping up, it is essential to talk about a few that may be extremely useful to mobile device users. Two of these tools are discussed here.
One of these is Pogoplug, which specialized in free cloud storage for mobile devices. After signing up, users are entitled to up to 5GB of storage space, and are immediately required to download the free desktop utility. This is then coupled with free mobile applications for the Android and iOS platforms to enable users to upload their images directly from their devices. There is even an option to upload files on to the cloud through email by sending attachments to a pre-specified address. Pogoplug is great if you want to stream movies and music from your mobile phone and you can even set it to automatically back up all the media items in your gallery on to the cloud.
Another free cloud storage tool that could be of great benefit to mobile device users is sideCLOUDload, which allows you to upload files directly from a URL, so that you dont have to download them on your mobile device which by definition has limited storage space when compared to a computer systems. The items you upload should be less than 25MB in size and can even be uploaded via an email account or synced with Dropbox.
