Manage Your Documents Online – ThinkFree.com
August 3rd, 2008 | by Masa |
ThinkFree.com has been my most favorite online service to manage my documents over the internet for the last few years. Basically after you sign up for an account, which is free (yay!), you can store many types of documents (such as MS Word, Excel, Powerpoint, PDF and etc…) for up to 1GB. You can also rearrange your documents if you install software from ThinkFree, but if you have Microsoft office tools on your computer, you can also just download the documents you like and rearrange it in a traditional way. The primary difference from Google Docs is that you can download the file from your account on the website and upload them again.
It’s very useful as online document storage, and you have an access from anywhere and any computers in the world as long as you have internet available. No need to worry about losing memory of your documents by your computer’s crash, loss of your flash memories you put the documents in, or simply forgetting where you saved. I also like their sophisticated interface looks. And it’s very simple to use.
As well as Google Docs does, ThinkFree.com provides documents sharing service, ThinkFree Docs, which I don’t use quite often. The major difference here is also that in Google Docs, people can only view the shared documents, but in ThinkFree Docs, you can download the documents onto your computer. There are so many online sharing tools today. Flickr and Picasa let you share photos. In Youtube and Crunchyroll, people share videos. iMeem and eSnaps allow you to share music and etc. And finally Google Docs and ThinkFree Docs let you share documents. This might be a nice tool for people who write long stories and books, or people who like to share arts of writing. But, for people who do not want to share your documents, you have options not to publish them.
Overall, ThinkFree.com is very useful (and free!) tool.
