Portable USB Apps
Thumb-sized software
http://www.theinfobox.com/index.php/Portable_USB_Apps
You probably have a USB thumb drive to carry around your files. These little gadgets are hot sellers because they're so handy.

But did you know that you can do so much more than store documents on them? They're also perfect for running programs. But the programs have to be specifically created for thumb drives.

Have you ever been confronted with this horror? You sit down at a friend's computer only to find that Firefox isn't installed? Well, put it on your thumb drive. Then you'll always have it at your fingertips, along with your bookmarks.

But the good stuff doesn't end there. You'll find a portable version of OpenOffice.org, the Microsoft Office competitor. And check out the Freeware section for HTML editors, media players, picture viewers, and more.

FolderShare
FolderShare
https://www.foldershare.com/
I'm so excited by this new program I found. I'm sure you'll love it, too.

As you can guess from its name, FolderShare is designed to share folders. Once you sign up and download the free software, you can begin sharing folders over the Internet.

You have plenty of options. For example, you can create a peer-to-peer network with family and friends. This is handy when it comes time to share your Christmas photos.

You can also use it to synchronize files between computers. This is always a great tool when you use multiple computers.

Your data is kept private. Only those you allow can access it. Just remember to keep your security software up-to-date.
