New way to access files

New services on the Web help eliminate restrictions on individual PCs. By taking and sharing simple documents, photos and files from your PC, these services create a way to access files quickly as soon as your computer is connected to the Internet.

Here are the Web services that users can register for free or trial:

Avvenu

After installing the free Avvenu software on your PC, you need to be able to browse and access the files on this PC system. By logging into Avvenu's Web site from any computer, or a phone with Internet access, or PDA. Windows system folders, or folders you specify will be hidden. If users install Google Desktop, they can search for the files they want. In addition, users can share files or entire folders by sending the entire link (link) to those directories and files.

Avvenu is impressive because it offers many features and simplicity in use on PCs and mobile devices. Avvenu also provides strong security. Data transmitted is encrypted, but if someone "hunts" the name and password used, they can access your files.

EasyReach

EasyReach is a new service, quite suitable for business users and users who need maximum security. EastReach's homepage acts as a portal to the configured PC with EasyReach software, granting access to files from any mobile device, PDA, or BlackBerry that can use the Internet.

After logging into the Web site, the user can search all computers containing files, e-mails, or a list of partners via an encrypted connection. This service requires a fee of 8 USD / month for a computer and 2 USD for each additional computer. EasyReach offers a 30-day free trial and discounts if you register annually.

When searching for the required file, you can send an email containing links to files to someone right in the Web interface, instead of having to connect to your computer. But EasyReach has a drawback that there is no setting for browsing files, and users need to remember those files.

BeInSync

BeInSync uses a completely new way compared to the above two services. The software creates an peer-to-peer network (peer-to-peer network) to synchronize files and folders between computers, the number of which can be maximized. 10. The service registration price is 7 USD / month or 60 USD / year. In addition, the company also allows trial use of the service for 30 days and also has a free version but limited functionality.

The software configuration of BeInSync can be a bit complicated, and limited to only 5 shared folders. After the configuration is complete, the software works very well, the contents in the folders are automatically updated when there are changes on any computer. The home page of BeInSync allows users to log in and download files from synced folders. This website has the same interface and operation as normal applications, so it is quite easy for users.

For users with multiple computers and removable storage devices, BeInSync will always be the best way to monitor and sync simple, fast files.

Consider and choose the services you like. Avvenu is a simple, free and multi-functional service that can be a good choice for you. Users can quickly browse and search files, and set up shared files and folders. But EasyReach provides safer security for sensitive data. Finally, BeInsync allows auto-syncing, which is useful if you're working from home or team work.
