BP4-Web 2.0 Tool: iDriveSync

iDrive Sync

Ever get to work or school and try to put on a demonstration that worked fine over the weekend, but for whatever reason, today... you can't get the files to show up or worse yet- find them on the server or in the email you sent yourself?

Well, fear no more! Those nightmare scenarios don't have to happen anymore if you take advantage of iDriveSync. This great Web 2.0 tool can securely sync online and share files across multiple computers. You can get a free 2GB account or pay for unlimited storage for just $4.95 per month. This Web 2.0 tool offers many different tutorial videos to help teachers and students learn how to use all of the functions and features. In addition, this tool is an excellent option for providing availability of files for sharing without having to email files back and forth to others. Size limitations are no longer an issue when sending large files when you use iDriveSync. Though this tool is specifically for PCs using Windows operating systems, it still is very useful in both a lab and school setting or for students at home since the majority of people and schools still are using Windows platforms. In fact designers also should be checking their work on a Windows machine in addition to a MAC to make sure all images and Web-based layouts are viewed appropriately by the intended audience.

According to the sync facts and frequently asked questions on the iDriveSync website, “your files and folders are transferred using 128-bit SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology. Data stored at our world-class data centers is encrypted using the encryption key (known only to you in case you set the private encryption key). IDriveSync uses 448-blowfish encryption on storage (same as that used by banks and the military).”

Any type of file can be shared with anyone and all you need to complete the process is accurate and working email addresses and verification that all computers you want to be able to receive the files have working Internet connections. This would be an excellent tool for teachers who want to share files with their students both at school and at home or between colleagues who need access to files and other types of media files for collaboration.
