Unlimited Potential

The cloud… you may wonder what this is and how it all works… don’t bother trying to figure it out… its complicated and doesn’t need to be. So simply put, there are servers that companies own and have converted into systems that enable you to employ their vast storage to assist you with your dad to day online and offline life. I say offline, but frankly if you are not connected to the internet then the cloud is not available of course. However normally you would never store data “only” on your cloud storage. When you come online, your system will connect and resync to the cloud and all will be well again.

There are now dozens of systems for using for this purpose but as per usual, the front runner has come down to a few key components. Those are marketing, and being the first to master the hurdles of simplification for the common user, that and of course backing the platform divide, the tiny market share of Apple has however become the master seeder for this massive organisation. Welcome to DropBox, an amazing cloud backup solution that you will never use to its full capacity. By signing up you get 2Gb free and can buy any volume to suit your needs… as you share with other users you earn credit which is given to you in the form of extra storage – 250Mb at a time.

If you [like me] visit innumerable sites, have registrations with many of them, do online banking at multiple banks, and have a huge variety of other online systems that you use, then remembering your passwords, is a major issue. One piece of software has quickly taken hold of the entire password management market, achieved reliability and confidence globally in the market and released a steady flow of updates to their system, fixing bugs and further developing its password management system almost to perfection… http://www.1password.com is it ! You can download the app for any platform from here.
By combining 1Password with popular and FREE online cloud sync systems like DropBox you can advance your online security with the automated added benefit of a constant backup to all those passwords along with the offsite storage of that information… so if you are without your wallet and laptop and in a location where you need your creditcard details, or any online login info, the data can be synced to your phone, and is also available online.
