Dervish

I have ten invites to Think Free Premium. Whilst it’s free at the moment, I am not sure if it will stay that way.  Nevertheless, I have been trialling it and compared to Media Max, Box, Omnidrive, and Google Docs it has some superior qualities.

a) you can manually or auto-sync between online and offline versions of your documents
b) you can work online on your files, or offline and upload with your own software, or offline with their software (seems to be an adapted version of Open Office, although strangely doesn’t read .odt files, you have to convert them to .doc) - so lots of options there
c) saves in .doc format, and reads .doc files (same with .xls and .ppt I presume)
d) you can install their syncing software on multiple platforms, including Linux.  So, I am hoping I can run their Windows version on my work desktop, use the Linux one I am currently using on my laptop, and work online from any strange computer I happen to find myself at.
e) 1 GB online storage (but can only upload files smaller than 10Mb)
f) allows you to zip up and download your online files for backup purposes
g) seems pretty quick

Anyway, leave a comment if you want one of my ten invites to the beta Premium service.

You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.
