Use Your Windows Phone 7 Device As A USB Drive [Guide]
Windows Phone 7 is a platform that comes with a strict regard for its security and privacy of the operating system. This makes accessing its file system extremely complicated, if not altogether impossible. You have to rely on the official syncing software “Zune” to get anything in or out of your WP7 device but that means that your phone can not act like a data carrier and you can not get any non-supported file on your device. That is quite a big set back for users in a variety of ways. Many people use a moderate number of apps on their WP7 device, and keep their photos and music synced with Zune. So, a lot of the space in your Windows Phone might be going to waste, as you can't use it as a USB drive. Won’t it be a huge boost if it was somehow possible that you plug-in your WP7 mobile into your PC and it showed up just like a mass storage device? As a matter of fact, it is possible!

4space Brings Easy-To-Configure Secured Web Server With File Groups
A while back, we featured a portable HTTP file server called KouakOS which arguably provides one of the most convenient way to share files with connected nodes in both heterogeneous and homogenous network, and with others over the internet, but one problem which may repel advanced users from using a HTTP server is that it doesn’t provide security of data being shared on the network. Since security can’t be compromised at any stage of data sharing, it’s recommended to use a more secured channel when it comes to exchanging classified information or files. 4Space (name looks familiar to 4shared) is relatively more advance implementation of KouakOS. It’s an Adobe-Air based application that provides different sections according to both types of files and their security. The application lets you password protect files before sharing them over HTTP. Its web server, in contrast to KouakOS, offers a neat user interface, allowing users to switch between different file groups to download them on their systems.
