There are many others cloud-based tools and services that you can access right now,and many of them are free.
Projects can b easily shared with friends ans colleagues and cloud tools remove the frustration of not being able to access something because its on another computer
Cloud based office suits,for instance ,work just like Microsoft office but exists entirely online,meaning they are accessed and operated from inside a web browser.I have already mentioned Google docs but there are numerous alternations,including Zoho(www.Zoho.com) and microsoft own office365 (www.office365.com).There are disadvantages most features can be used only when online,as the software behind tools for the text creation and editing are on the server,not your PC both Google Docs and Zoho offer some way to work offline using plug-ins for Microsoft Office see www.snipca.com/X4895 for Zoho and www.snipca.com/X4896 for google Docs .
Indeed,for the truly cloud-committed there are even operating systems and computers that are wholly reliant on the cloud.Google is leading the way with Chrome OS(which is distinct from chrome the web browser with which you may already be familiar)This is only available on laptops(dubbed chromebooks),manufactured by samsung and Acer
Chrome OS is based on existing Google software,such as the chrome web browser and Google Docs,Switch on a Chromebook and you will see various
Web based apps,such as Gmail.Google Calender and so on .,Much like with smartphone and tablet computers,additional apps can be installed from chrome web store.
A big advantage of chromebooks is that they run very quickly,as little computing work is performaed on the device itself.However,the downside is that if you happend to find your self in a location where internet access is unavailable then a Chromebook is useless
Another option,which is not tied into Google's own cloud services,is Joli OS(www.jolicloud.com).It works in a similar way to Chrome OS,but can be installed on almost any computer(and even alongside Windows)
