How To Make The Google's Cloud Work For You.

So if you are like me and you have several pcs systems

, one runs on Windows XP - which is a secondary (older PC for kids) system used for running music and other non-essential stuff in the background. I also have a main computer system that is running Windows 7 on a four processor system that works beautifully for all applications throughout my work day (a "no-touch kids" PC). I also have a desktop system in the office that is slow and quite frankly hard to use but fortunately I'm not in the office that often. I do travel a lot so I have a laptop with dual-processors so I can do all my business work on the road as well as play movies and music etc.

So here's my situation, at any point in time I may be working on any of these pcs updating data and I e-mail the information back and forth to myself or copy it to a flash drive or make sure it's on a network drive so I do not do something crazy and override a file with an old files etc. I am also not into having to manage my data across many systems as in setting up networks etc. this can get messy and time consuming. It gets specially messy when I involve my business associates or customers where we have two update files for such things as proposals and presentations. So I was thinking in today's world there has to be a better way to do the management of files across numerous systems which are updated by potentially several people.

So because I use Gmail from Google for myself I took a look at the Google apps for our business and it makes total financial sense that we move employees over to Google apps - if not all staff then the marketing and sales teams anyways. I then started to take a look at an application that could help me resolve my problems where I need help with my documents being spread across multiple pcs and how to manage this process so no overriding of data occurs resulting in the loss in me having to reproduce documents. I did find an application that manages my data across several systems using Google apps is the conduit which is great for me applications can be found at http://www.cloudhero.com

Cloud Hero's a great little usefulness program which will send up to Google apps all your files including your folder structure so you do not have to shift files around, it will also copy back down or allow you to have access to the cloud files right from your normal Windows applications such as my computer showing you a drive letter for cloud files - it really is quite easy to use and seamless to the every day work flow. Another cool thing about Cloud Hero is when I need colleague to look at a proposal and we are both looking online at the file in a browser at Google docs, modifying it on the fly in our telephone conversation, Cloud Hero sees the improvements made and within 15 minutes the file is back-up to my PC which then has a duplicate of the modified file. Google Docs still has the file we worked on up in the cloud so if anything happens to my cloud account I automatically have the file back down on my PC through Cloud Heros SYNC technology. Equally significant is when I work on a file on my PC and that file is auto-synced to my Google Apps account and then if my PC crashes, I always have a copy up in the Google cloud as my duplicate so I am totally safe and redundant which makes me feel much better knowing that I have two copies of all my critical data all the time with one copy always off-site accessible from any computer browser. I mean any computer system platform - even Apple systems, Unix, Linux etc. It does not matter as long as I can get to a browser.

So if you are like and have numerous devices needing to access some data at any given time you really need to look at a answer like Cloud Hero along with Google docs and Google apps it will make your life a lot easier. Hope this helps some of my mutual road warriors with your data and several system management needs.
