CopyAccount is a site where you can sync files, pictures, videos, and documents
between multiple devices. I like the idea of this cite, because it allows you
to have your files backed up onto different devices and in different places. I
also really like this; because there is an app you can download onto your
iPhone or iPad, or both. I really appreciate that you can increase your storage
space by inviting more people to use the app, or just by adding more files onto
your device. Since you can increase your space, it gives you more opportunities
to back things up.
The next account is called Dropbox.
Dropbox is very similar to Copy Account in that you can sync files, pictures,
videos, and documents between multiple devices. I already had a Dropbox account
previous to learning about it in this course. The main downside to Dropbox is
the limited storage space. Unlike Copy Account, it is not easy to increase your
storage. It is convenient, but the site could be improved by offering
opportunities to increase the storage space.
The Google Drive account allows you
to keep your files all onto your computer, but lets you access from anywhere
else. For example, if you were at a friend’s house and needed to access your
files, you could just sign into your Google Drive. Once you signed into your
Drive on their computer, your files would appear. This site allows you to do
what Dropbox and Copy Account do, without the installation onto other devices.
The Microsoft Live account is an
account that allows a user to have an email address, and also includes access
to services like Outlook, OneDrive, Windows Phone, or Xbox live. The positive
of this website is that it basically connects all your email address into one
login. Another positive aspect of this site is that it doesn’t require
downloading or installing multiple systems. The downside to this site is that
if someone hacked into the account they would have access to multiple emails,
email address, and personal information.
There was also a site called
DiigoSocial Bookmarking. This site is different from the iCloud websites
because it is more of a bookmarking site. It allows a user to build a personal
library, read effectively with annotation tools, provide feedback, and connect
with other users. I personally do not use sites like this because I prefer other
research options. I also feel that this site is finicky and doesn’t always work
properly. However, I felt as if the iCloud websites were more reliable.
