Google May Be Launching The Google Drive As Early As Next Week, Says The Next Web

Posted by in News, Rumors

Rumors about the mythical Google Drive have been ramping up lately. The rumored Google Drive is gunning for Dropbox with universal storage and sync. The Next Web is reporting that the service may launch as early as next week, giving users an initial 5GB of storage space that will sync between Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS devices. Pretty sweet!

Earlier rumors suggest an early April release which we're pretty well past now, but with the intensity rumors have been milling about lately, it would surprise us if it wasn't going to drop soon. There's still some questions to be answered about just how it will work, but what do you think?

Quickoffice Creates Its Own Cloud Drive, Lets You Put Your Documents There... For A[n Unreasonable] Price

Posted by in Applications, News

A PR just hit our inbox from the guys over at Quickoffice detailing their new "Connect by Quickoffice" app. Since we like Quickoffice, we decided to take a closer look. Here's the general gist of it: if you're a Quickoffice user, you can install the new app for free (with limited functionality) and save all of your documents in the cloud, allowing you to access view them from any PC, Mac, tablet, or phone. For an additional fee of $45-$70 per year, you can also sync more devices (the free one is limited to two devices), as well as edit your files.

[Hands-On] DataSync Is A Quick And Easy Way To Keep Your App Data In Sync Across Multiple Devices

Posted by in Applications, News, Videos

If there's one thing that I hate about having multiple Android devices, it's the inability to easily keep application data synced across them. For example, I love hidden object games and usually play them on my Transformer Prime. But, if I want to play the same game on my Nexus, I can't pick it up from where I left off on my Prime. And that's just lame.

Enter a new [badass] app called DataSync. If you have app data and want to keep it synced up between multiple devices, then this is the app to have. 

This app is for rooted users only.

Amazon's Kindle App For Android Gets Updated To Support Kindle Format 8, Cloud Backup Of Email-To-Kindle Files

Posted by in Applications, News

Amazon updated their Kindle app for Android today, bringing about two changes that add a significant amount of functionality to the app. Perhaps the most notable change is the addition of support for Kindle Format 8, Amazon's "next generation" file format which supports HTML5, CSS3, drop caps, fixed layouts, and scalable vector graphics. The format also features Panel Views and Kindle Text Popup, enabling "great fixed layout books including graphic novels, comics, and children's books."

The other change brought by today's Kindle update is a change to the functionality of users' send-to-Kindle email addresses. With today's update, files and documents can be sent to Kindle for Android using your Send-to-Kindle email address, and will of course be synced to Amazon's Cloud for re-downloading on any supported device.

Titanium Backup Updated To Version 4.8.4 With Box.net Integration - Finally Gives Those 50GB Accounts A Purpose

Posted by in Applications, News

Titanium Backup, a widely popular backup solution for root users, got an update today to version 4.8.4, adding a handful of improvements and functions, not the least of which being support for Box.net backup syncing.

If you're wondering why Box.net support is significant, the reason is this: until now, mobile users have had little use for the cloud service's free 50GB account option, which caps the size of uploads at 100MB, and is only compatible with mobile devices (meaning there's no desktop syncing capability). Integration with an app like Titanium Backup should finally put free Box.net storage to effective use.

Microsoft OneNote Arrives On The Android Market, Uses Your SkyDrive To Sync Notes, Is Gorgeous

Posted by in Apps/Games, News

Google Docs on Android is, to put it politely, crap. While the app was recently updated with a nice tablet interface for viewing documents, editing them has always been kind of a pain, and ugly to boot. Microsoft is stepping up to save the day with their simple, elegant OneNote app for Android. Because screw your expectations.

The only downside seems to be that if you already have .one files on your Android device, OneNote won't read them. Disappointing for already-avid users, but for the rest of us, OneNote will act very similarly to Google Docs by syncing with your SkyDrive account automatically.
