I got all excited the other day when I read about Gladinet, a nifty piece of software that lets you connect to on-line storage such as Windows Skydrive and Google Docs, treating the storage as a (Windows) network drive.
"eureka" I thought, why don't I keep all my documents on Google Docs, thereby saving space on my PC, giving me universal access to my data and taking away the worry of losing stuff in the event something goes wrong (see other thread LOL!).
Has anyone done this? Not necessarily using Gladinet and Google Docs, but has anyone decided to put their faith in "the Cloud" ?
P.S. I discovered a great way of transferring ALL my emails from Outlook (almost 10 years' worth) to Gmail a couple of weeks ago, so I've now abandoned Outlook and gone over entirely to Gmail (while retaining my existing POP addresses, all my old emails and contacts). Which I'm very happy with. So far. The same trick works with Outlook Express. Details here if anyone's interested!
