Living in the Cloud

alefor · 04-09-2010, 11:03 PM

I own an iPhone, an iPad, a Kindle and 2 eDGe's. I think I have the basis to make valid comparisons. I also do all of my computing (acrosss 5 desktop machines) using Apple MobileMe.

One problem with the eDGe is getting content onto it from the cloud. So, one solution (when I am away from a desktop machine) is to use my iPhone to email a file from MobileMe (iDisk) and then open it on the eDGe. The eDGe is very good at handling email attachments.

Anyone have other solutions? Thanks!!!!

One word: dropbox

Thanks. Dropbox is great if I have a computer with me that can run it, or if I plan ahead before I leave. But if I am out with just my eDGe and my iPhone I am not sure if that would work. Can dropbox run from an iPhone?

You just have to do a search for the Droidbox apk file or simply use the actual DropBox site via the browser. Both work well. There are lots of good articles on MobileRead.com discussing using DropBox with e-readers.

Here's a little article I wrote about DropBox: http://www.aznet.com/onedge/use-drop...fers-a-breeze/

For those that don't have a DropBox account please use this link and I get some free storage, https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTI2NjcxOTg5
