It's all coming together

If you have read some of my other posts, you'll remember that I have been trying to find ways to integrate my work and my phone in particular trying to get access to my network on my phone.
At the moment I'm using Opera together with the unite add on to give me web based access to my files. You just need to email yourself (or your friends) the link that it gives you along with the password and then you can access your files from any web browser.

I had tested other apps like Dropbox and Sugarsync however I wasn't keen on having to upload all my files to their servers (which has a limit on the free space you can use). This is especially the case when my files are already on my home server.

Another way that I am attempting to link everything together is by using Google Calendar, by using this, I can access my calender by using many of the Android apps like Jorte (although upload to Google is a problem at the minute) and Snapcal which seems to be uploading and downloading well to and form Google.

I also find Google Docs very helpful for allowing me to access and use documents on my mobile or laptop, this is great if you have some spare time while your out waiting for something and you can quickly type away and then finish it off later at home.

I've been impressed with the number of ways you can access and use your files while on the fly, and i'm going to continue to try different things and of course, let you know.

See you soon
