However, Kim Dotcom, the founder of Mega, promises many features to come including apps for all desktops and mobile devices.

So grap an account now while it's free and stay tuned to see what comes of mega.co.nz

Insync, a cloud based storage solution that uses Google Drive

Are you using Google Drive?  If so then take a look at this, Insynchq.com is a desktop files synchronisation tool that harnesses the power of Google Drive for it's storage.

It fills in the gaps that Google Drive has, such as offline editing and the ability to sync multiple Google accounts.  The offline editing is neat as it actually downloads the Google Docs and Sheets as Microsoft Office Documents - converting back and fourth as you make changes.

It works with Windows and Mac, they are also building mobile apps for iOS, Windows Phone and Android - so ideal if you feel locked out by Google on your new Windows Phone!

Outlook.com the new Hotmail

Microsoft have just released their new take on email, challenging Gmail.  Anyone already with a Hotmail or Windows Live Email account can convert it to Outlook.com in a few clicks.  Or if you are a new user, then grab your @outlook.com Email address before the rest of the world does, head on over to Outlook.com to get started.
