Use your personal space in your favorite Joomla site. How? With lightning-like speed you jump onto a colleague’s computer and pull up your personal hard drive on your community website. Log onto your account with a unique user name and password and bingo, your files come up on the screen.
Remote file backups Everyone knows they should back up their files, but most people keep their computer and backup files in the same place.
Ever wonder what would happen if your computer and your backup files get destroyed by fire, flood or theft? Large corporations spend big money to keep their files archived on remote servers “just in case”. Now you can do the same thing with your vital files at no cost.
File sharing between users
Do you enjoy waiting for huge files to upload or download through your e-mail program? Nobody does! Don’t tie up the e-mail servers with file downloads, use Joomla’s Briefcase Add-on to share files with other users. Simply upload your files to your briefcase and then email your friend a message with a link and instructions to download the file.
The Briefcase Component even lets you share with the whole Public. So even non site members can download. Best for sharing with your friends and colleagues that have less knowledge of the internet. Just send them the link and they will download it to their local computer.
Digital Family Photos
Another great use for the service involves sharing digital pictures over the web. As those file sizes grow with enhancements in digital photography, having a password protected spot online from which to share the virtual family photo album comes in very handy.
In case you are at a loss as to what type of large files you may want to share:
Job files Fonts Resumes Image files Files you want to ‘transport’ from office to home (and vice-versa). Use it to ‘back-up’ current projects. Think up your own reason – I’m out of ideas.
