This week’s exercise is to look at the file storage site Omnidrive – however, this site is currently in Beta and has reached its capacity for registered users. To find out more about this site and register your interest in getting an account in the future, take a look at the product overview
An alternative online file storage site we will explore is Box.net
Box is a free site that lets you upload any type of file (documents, photos, spreadsheets, videos etc) then share and collaborate with others. You can use Box to store files then access them anywhere and by registering for a free account you will have access to range of document and image editing tools, all from one site.
The discovery exercises for this week are:
1. Open an account at Box
2. Upload a text document and try editing using Zoho (OpenBox Services)
3. Upload an image and try editing using picnik photo editor (OpenBox Services)
4. Go to the Services tab and see what other services are available to add to your Box account
5. Add the Blog posting service and post a file to your blog
