Many people are always on the go and need certain computer files with them for school, business, personal etc. There are many online services and portable media devices you can use for this. A portable media device is something that you can take with you and you can put media on to it. Many people have heard of and/or have bought something called a thumb drive where they can put files onto and have them when they travel. These devices are really popular with businesses and schools. The thumb drives come in all different looks, shapes and memory capacity. They did start to make portable HD (Hard Drive) which does the same thing as a thumb drive just on a bigger scale. You can also use any mp3 player, ipod, zune, etc. to transfer files from one PC to another. You can transfer files like word documents to the hard drive on your portable music device and put it on another PC. In a upcoming video I will show how easy it’s to do that. There are also great alternatives if you do not have a portable media device or can’t afford a portable media device. An alternative is placing your files onto a FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server and accessing them like that or go to a file hosting service. Xdrive offers 5 gigabyte of free online file storage with a set of tools to transfer files. In the future I will be looking into setting up a public FTP server for my website guests or show viewers to use and setup accounts.
