Thing 32. Online storage. Unfortunatly but not surprisingly after 4 years the expected changes have happened. Omnidrive doesn't exist anymore. Sounded good, pity it's gone. I searched for other free online storage and settled on 4shared. It's easy to use, quite intuitive so that's lovely. I don't need any online storage at the moment but a friend is about to teach a class in Gimp soon so I suggested she have her files stored online so she can access them from the course instead of carrying them around with her. At first we were going to use the free web space that comes from my ISP but seeing as I wanted to explore online storage we started an account for her to use for the class and for me to explore and see what it can do.
Even tho it's so easy it's still a little peculiar. There's an upload link at the bottom of the page that doesn't work, you have to use the one at the top. You can't edit files online unless it's a .txt file. The working page is set up like an email account and the top folder is where the files sit. There are 12 emails waiting for you when you sign in so that is a little unexpected.
You can edit images with Picnic. Nice, also easy, not as detailed as Gimp, but very nice for an online image editor.
Bottom line? I may find a use for all this, but I'll probably shop around a bit more and find one that has editing of more file types.
