dropbox

I have lost few flash drives in the past. I am sure most of you did. I would leave my house and leave my flash drive at home then I have to call my wife to email the files of my computer or flash drive. I have discovered drop box. This is a great web tool. For me it’s a great way to sync folders across the various computers I work with or between others. Because it’s free and convenient, I suggest it to all my clients so they can better share virtually anything. This is tool is easy way to store, sync, and, share files online. It’s also available for Windows, OS X, and Linux. I have downloaded it onto my computer to store, sync and share files online.

File Sync:
Dropbox allows you to sync your files online and across your computers automatically.

File Sharing:
Sharing files is simple and can be done with only a few clicks.

Online Backup:
Dropbox backs up your files online without you having to think about it.

Web Access:

A copy of your files is stored on Dropbox’s secure servers. This lets you access them from any computer or mobile device.
Security & Privacy:

Dropbox takes the security and privacy of your files very seriously. Military level encryption!

To use Dropbox online storage, you need to register and download its client software. For free users, Dropbox provides 2GB storage space. When Dropbox runs at first time, it will ask you whether or not you have an account. If you have registered, enter your username and password. Then Dropbox will run in background and it will create a folder "My Dropbox" in your document folder. Note that the folder and its contents are not located in your computer; they are in the Dropbox server.

When you save some files in it, Dropbox will upload them to your Dropbox account.

The week of using energy more efficiently

There is many SDP case studies in the book of Alexander Christakis's 'How People Harness their Collective Wisdom and Power to Construct the Future in Co-Laboratories of Democracy' uses the SDP approach to few case studies. I have one that really got me interested "anticipating alternative futures in energy efficiency". Using energy more efficiently allows energy supplies to stretch further enhances energy security and reliability, strengthens the economy, and protects public health and the global environment.

The SDP discovery phase will have participants generate and clarify the proposed actions for impacting the trends in a desirable way for the future of energy efficiency. Energy has been and will continue to be the catalyst for global economic growth and prosperity. I believe the future of energy is connected to innovative technologies.
