We often see as they appear on the market different variants of a program or service. It is innovative in something that already exists, trying to improve and offer the user a better experience. Today we will discuss Zyncro, another virtual hard disk option be using it after a season has finally convinced me.
When we talk of virtual hard drives sure many services you already have your favorites, with which we have just to compare any new option. Zyncro project is a virtual hard disk, we allow a storage capacity of a jig for free . But surely Zyncro part I like is the option that allows collaborative when working with different documents. Let’s see a bit more in detail how this service works.
Desktop Client Zyncro
It is certainly one of its strengths . It is available for Windows XP and Vista and announce that they are working on versions for Windows 7, Mac OS X and Linux. It is a desktop client that will help us to synchronize our local folders with our virtual hard disk. This can be done with that are included in the folder we created Zyncro My desktop client. Once here, the changes made to files are synchronized with files stored on the virtual disk automatically online.
But Zyncro is a virtual hard disk designed to share any folder you need to send to a contact, or any. Zyncro sends them to the people we select in our contacts, whose e-mail to them will be a link to download the files in a compressed zip archive or attach your own virtual hard disk.
When you select the files will have the option to allow modifications or only access to archives. Zyncro allows us to edit documents and reports the changes we made to the person who sent the document. The document editing is done locally, but the changes occur directly to save the virtual disk. In the event that we do not change the file permissions will be opened as read-only.
Still has document viewer from Zoho that will allow us to open the document without having the program installed, either a text document, spreadsheet or image, which allows us to visualize in presentation so easily. It is a very convenient way to display the file with the virtual hard disk when we’re not in front of our computer or work from our mobile phone, for example.
The other option we have a very interesting time share a file is to generate a downloadable link . The link we can mail or share in the manner most comfortable to us through social networks, for example, or using the network of contacts Zyncro own.
Networking Zyncro
In this case, given the working philosophy Zyncro seeks not only have an internet storage space to store our files, but rather wanted to share the spaces between our contacts . This seeks to share with our contacts our hard disk, file, send invitations to other contacts, and more. Something similar to what other virtual disks to try to promote themselves.
This allows us to create groups of users to share files, while incorporating a status panel where we can add comments to see our contacts in the way of Twitter. In this case, reflects all the activity we had in our virtual disk files that we removed, we created groups or links that we sent to our contacts.
We can choose whether share any comments or updates all or only those we want. Ultimately it is an option that will help us to maintain communication during the development of work, not in vain the question that we propose for the updates is “What are you working?”. An option that gives a bonus to this virtual hard disk over its competitors, though perhaps many already have the two tools separately and not see a need for this integration between social networking and virtual disk.
Conclusions
This is definitely a a good choice of virtual hard disk , which seeks its niche in the market causing several people to share files fast and effective. An easy and simple to work with files among several people. Implements a good system of notification of changes or modifications to the files for all persons who share them.
It is still a long way to go to match other similar options , both in storage, where a jig seems a little short compared to competitive offerings. Furthermore it remains to be done in the field of desktop clients at the moment only available for Windows XP and Vista. Here too is missing in a virtual hard disk a desktop client for mobile phones. Issue will be watching the developments and growth of this exciting project.
