My Digitized Thoughts - Ramen Mukherjee ...

Lets assume that you have got all the free cloud storages by the knowledge you got from HERE. But the question remains the same. How to manage all these? These HUGE spaces, how to manage all of them? How to keep then organised, categorised? It is not possible to keep on running all the Sync services at once. It is also not possible to open every service's website on the browser and if you need to move file from one location to another, you have to download the file to your computer and then again upload it to the different service provider. It is not possible at all, specially when you are on slow connection. Also remembering each and every cloud storage's credentials is a tiresome workload. How to bypass all of them? Is there any way?

YES fortunately there are. Many actually. But some of them are truly remarkable. They are -

1) Otixo: My personal #1 favourite is otixo. Because the service is free, you can add any number of cloud storages there. Also you can add other services like WebDAV also. You can move files among your cloud services like moving files from one folder to another. Cut. Copy. Paste is like a charm. Also you can search all the cloud services at once for any file.

Both the Personal and Business plan let you use all the features in Otixo without restriction. You can connect as many services as you like, share files, connect your desktop drive, etc. The Personal plan is for casual users of Otixo and has a network bandwidth limit of 2 GB server traffic per month. The Business plan lets you use Otixo as much as you want, without any monthly bandwidth limitation.

Bandwidth usage credits are the transactions in Otixo which count as network usage on our servers. You can think of this like your smartphone or home internet data plan which counts your internet usage. Otixo does not store your files, we only act as a gateway to your connected cloud services; therefore, we restrict the monthly network bandwidth used on our servers for the Personal accounts.

Otixo counts the server network transactions (which we have to pay for ourselves) against the account quotas. Therefore when you copy/move, upload, download or preview files through the Otixo servers, it counts against your monthly bandwidth quota. Other types of transactions are also deducted, like filesystem synchronizations, searches, etc., but are minimal in size.

When you run out of bandwidth for your monthly account quota, your account will still be active, but your cloud services will be "offline" and inaccessible until your next renewal date. You can always upgrade to an unlimited Business plan, or you can invite your friends or colleagues to get free permanent credits as a gift. The more you share Otixo, the bigger your monthly quota will get.

The BEST part is you will get 100 MB of bandwidth quota EXTRA when you refer another friend. But there is also a limit by which you can get only 1 GB of EXTRA bandwidth.

The interface is very polished & simple enough to use. Adding and deletion of accounts and files are CHARM. If you have used apple devices and softwares like iTunes, you will feel the interface remarkably known.

Cons: The limit of 1 GB bandwidth. And remember even service synchronization or file viewing is also falls under this category. So use this service WISELY. Another problem is absence of any mobile app. Where other competitors of same game has it.

2) Primadesk: Another sevice just like otixo. Interface is very good. Clean & clear. Has every feature Otixo has but the FREE account has several limitations. Like you can add only 5 accounts. Limited sharing and bandwidth. The biggest feature of using primadesk is that it has a full features iOS and Android app. Not ONLY the cloud storages, you can add your email accounts here too. And you can search among them too. save your attachments in cloud services.

3) Hojoki: Very new service. Now in its BETA stage. However it is very free now. Supports all the cloud platforms. And even some less known platforms also. The Current offer is that Hojoki users will get 25 GB of free space from BOX. So you might wanna grab that now. Cons: this is really not a place where you can manage your files from all the cloud storages. This is just a place where you can publish your file information. I don’t know that the feature will be available later or not. As i said earlier it is a very new service.

4) Gladinet: its not at all a free service. Its is just a service which maps your cloud storages to a network mapped drive and set that into your PC.

5) Joukuu: Its a windows program and the LITE version of it, which is a free version will give you ability to add only 3 service to it. which is Dropbox, Google Drive & Box. The interface is nice and identical to New Microsoft Zune music player. Cons: It has many many limitations in it's free version. Needless to say that this service scores LAST in this review.

The choice is yours. Enjoy these free services. YES i have added referrals for  Otixo here and written much about it here but it doesn't mean that i am advertising for it here. i genuinely used all the above services myself and thus came to conclusion. This blog post is totally independent.

Thank You for Your Visit.
