Cloud is the latest and greatest talks of the internet these days. No longer do we need to keep everything within a device, with Cloud, we can access any file anywhere, provided there is an active internet connection. Taking advantage of the features provided by cloud computing, various companies have made its use, in one way or the other. One of those is CloudApp. CloudApp is a small application for Mac that is a very famous tool for uploading files to the cloud. There wasn't any Windows alternative to it until back in 2010, when we covered FluffyApp, an application that allows Windows users to upload files to CloudApp. Users are allowed to upload files by dragging it over the system tray icon or by simply navigating to the file. Moreover, it enables users to instantly capture and upload screenshots to the cloud. It basically provides everything of CloudApp from Windows perspective. FluffyApp has come a long way since its first release, and a recent update by the developers has brought version 2 of the application to the market. So, we thought of checking out all the changes that have been included in the application since the first release. Keep reading to find more. Read More

Cloud services, such as SkyDrive, Dropbox, Box.net and SugarSync, are a great way to store and access important data across all the configured systems without having to manually move the files around. With multiple devices like PC’s, tablets and even mobile phones becoming capable of creating and opening a large number of file formats, it is a tedious task to manually copy each file to every required device. This is where cloud services come in. The number of cloud services have increased a lot in the last few years, and with each new service, users get a considerable amount of cloud storage to store more and more data online. Even though the cloud-based services for syncing data provide you with a convenient way to access your data across all the configured devices, there is always the issue of security. We have found a service named Cloudfogger, that simplifies the two step process of manually encrypting and then uploading the files into one single step. Update: Now has an Android client and supports Google Drive.

Leave a comment
We’ve reviewed a Chrome extension in the past that allowed you to print webpages via a cloud printer associated with your Google account, but to print documents, you would have to access them through Chrome. Cloud Printer is a Mac app that lets you send print jobs to Google Cloud printers from your desktop. You do not need to access Chrome (although you must have it installed on your system), as the app lets you browse for the file and send it to a configured printer. The slight downside of the app, is that it does not let you choose printer preferences for a particular job, and if you want to restrict printing to simple black & white, you will have to set it from Chrome’s print page.

How To Delete Individual Photos From iCloud Photo Stream In iOS 5.1 Beta 2

by on
Leave a comment
iCloud is a feature in iOS which Apple is really proud of, as is evident from the recent iPhone and iPad ads. Despite being such a useful service, iCloud has its drawbacks as well. There have been many horror stories of people unintentionally sharing personal photos over the cloud, which were meant to be kept private for good. This is for the sole reason that once you have Photo Stream turned on, every photo you snap using your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch will be automatically shared across all the devices where your iCloud account is set up. If you fall victim to such a scenario, there is no way of deleting individual photos in Photo Stream, and you will have to remove the whole collection to get rid of one photo. However, with the latest version of iOS in its second beta testing phase, things are looking positive, as now individual photos can be deleted in iOS 5.1 beta 2. Having said that, this does not mean that there is some plain Delete button in clear view in the Photo Stream, you still need to know exactly what you are doing in order to get rid of photos.

iCloud became an integral part of the iOS after release of iOS 5. It certainly is a pretty convenient service to have, especially if you own more than one iOS devices. With iCloud, the photos and apps on your iPhone automatically appear on the iPad and iPod touch you own (check out our detailed review of iCloud and all its features). Apart from that, it is a good way of backing up your data. However, with iCloud come certain annoying nuisances, with one being the syncing of items that you don’t want to go to the cloud, thereby cluttering up the storage and making it difficult to find the thing you were actually looking for. Usually, when you take screenshots on your iPhone, you probably won't want them to go to iCloud, as they are mostly for temporary usage. Screenshot Dam is a simple Cydia tweak that recognizes screenshots as separate entities from other photos, and doesn’t allow them to sync with the cloud. Read More

Google regularly updates Chrome but not all features it adds effect users on the front end and many go unnoticed. It is however, time to upgrade to Chrome 13 because two of the bigger more obvious improvements have made it to the stable version; Instant pages and Print preview. Print preview isn’t a new concept at all if you’ve used MS Word but it wasn’t available in Chrome and after Google Cloud print, it was badly needed feature. Instant pages however, is new. Chrome now pre-caches the first result on a Google search result page if it detects it is the one you’re looking for; when you click on the first result, the page loads in 0 seconds as it’s already loaded in the backend.
