Learn How to Store and Share Your Files by using Ajax

Use your personal space in your favourite ajaxdocumentviewer.com. How? With lightning-like speed you jump onto a colleague's computer and pull up your personal hard drive on your community website. Log onto your account with a unique user name and password and bingo, your files come up on the screen.

Remote file backups everyone knows they should back up their files, but most people keep their computer and backup files in the same place.

Ever wonder what would happen if your computer and your backup files get destroyed by fire, flood or theft? Large corporations spend big money to keep their files archived on remote servers "just in case". Now you can do the same thing with your vital files at no cost.

If you have ever tried to email a friend large photos or a huge PDF or word document from work, you will know how long it took to send the email and then probably had the email returned saying that the message was to big to deliver. When this situation arises it's always when you have no time and you need to get a file to a colleague immediately.

Thanks to upload online storage services, these nightmares are a thing of the past, technology and file sizes have moved on, if you need to share a large word document or your latest video creation it's impossible to send them via email due to their size, but when you need a upload Online Document Viewer or online storage service you want it occasionally, just to send some files and you don't want your colleague to have to sign-up for a paid service just to get your files.

Another problem with the ever increasing size of files is how to backup this immense volume of data, the data won't fit on floppies or even CD's anymore due to it's file size, and you don't want to have to purchase some special hardware for a backup which would be nice to have just in case. Backing up to tapes and CD's takes ages, the computer grinds to a halt while you wait for all your files to be saved, it's so slow that you can't use your computer until it finishes. If you remember those days of copying files to floppy disks or multiple CD's then you will welcome a solution.

The problem with computer technology is it's often very difficult to use, your friend or colleague will offer file sharing solutions involving VPN's and WAN's and stuff that you pretend to understand, but all you want is a simple solution involving no more than web access.

If you need to access your work files from home or your home files from work or while on holiday then upload online storage services are for you. As your files are held securely using the same level of encryption as used by the military you can access your files from the upload online storage facility safe in the knowledge that your files are confidential and secure.

Remember backing up your data is vital it's not a question of if you will lose data, and it’s when you will lose data. If you need to store and share files or make backups of your data consider a modern upload online storage service and forget email and CD's.

Another great use for the service involves sharing digital pictures over the web. As those file sizes grow with enhancements in digital photography, having a password protected spot online from which to share the virtual family photo album comes in very handy.

Fonts
Resumes
Image files
Files you want to 'transport' from office to home (and vice-versa).

Big News: All Those Important Password Aren't Incredibly Unhackable

It's a clearly inevitable truth that we have loads of passwords. It likely started with a secret code number for our bank, but since that point, the growth of the internet has meant that every day brings a new network, and requires a new password.

Only this month I presume I've enrolled in around 12 new websites and networks. Have I chosen a different password for every one? No way. It's improbable to do something like that, in part because there's not a way I would ever remember them, but also since 'like all of us' I don't have a method to monitor varied passwords.

I maybe could write them down in a book somewhere, but what if I set it aside or couldn't get to it, or -and this is far more typical- wasn't at my computer and had to get a specific account password? It's like leaving all the house keys at your desk and never heading out anywhere with them: safe, yeah, but you'll lose your mind from the lack of convenience.

So, I presume I'm just like most people: I have around three passwords that I can reasonably bring up in my mind, and when I try and go to a site and it doesn't work, I reach through and think of the other passwords I have in my mind until one is accepted. But is this reasonable?

Well, think about this: do you actually trust every single service you sign up for? And even if you actually trust them, what's to block a compromised security system from happening at their HQ? It's taken place with big companies dozens of times - so it can truly happen to a small company. Relying on the same password across all your sites signifies that if a single one of your passwords is compromised, all of them might be.

Alright, I understand too much fear. Thankfully, there are excellent tools to deal with this exact problem. Instead of buying a notepad and creating a crazy password each time you register for a website, there are wonderful programs that function as a kind of password 'safe', where one main password gives you access to the entire system.

Any of these single password organizer pieces of software will make up random passwords for your logins too, giving you the chance to sleep easy with the knowledge that even if a pass is found on some lost site you registered for and quickly forgot, no one will ever be able to use that password for anything. Eliminate all that fretting concerning online safety commence with a password organizing tool immediately.
