Wuala And Bitcasa. Two Fully Accessible Dropbox Replacements!
Introduction
As we all know, Dropbox, totally not as blind-friendly as they once were back in the day. Still indeed usable, however certainly that context menu does have a terrible time with us blinks, and we "all!" know which menu that is... And even though you can use the dropbox app via your PC, just like with google drive, it can take up a bit of room on your PC and in the cloud, if you are subscribed to many folders, especially if ya only have between 2/3 GB! And in the case of Dropbox on the web unlike with gDrive, usable, though annoying!
In the next two sections, I will give ya a quick overview of the two Dropbox replacements mentioned in this thread's title, and in the 3rd section after those two, a special surprise for the AG community!
Bitcasa
Unlike the apps for Google Drive and Dropbox for example, your files aren't stored on your computer inside a Windows/File Explorer Dropbox folder. Instead, your files can be found from within your drive's list, thus acting like a "network" drive. The drive letter, which you can use in the address bar/run dialog box, is normally: "I:," where "I," stands for the word "Infinite." In Windows/File Explorer Bitcasa context menu, you are able to do local actions, such as share links to files, mirror a folder, so you have an alternate copy for backup.
The installation of Bitcasa may require the use of a mouse method, either via the pointer or the physical mouse. Once dealt with however, the program itself should be easy-going for ya!
For free accounts, you get 5 GB to start out with. You can earn additional "Bonus Bits," by doing certain things, like following them on Twitter or liking them on Facebook. The "My Bitcasa" page, is where you can browse your files via the web, delete them, move them, etc. However, I have not dived in to all of the web side of Bitcasa myself. Of course, yo u can update your account info too, particularly adding a secret question in the "Security" section, as you don't have one by default. Ah, and back to those "Bonus Bits" for a second, on that account page, is where ya can find the page, to get those extra bits!
Wuala
Wuala, is a service I just signed up with, and truly, its Dropbox on steroids! And not just because that context menu actually works right... You get 5 GB to start out with, however just like with most services you can get more for frer in some easy way. Two of the biggest things that make Wuala more powerful than dropbox, is that:
1. You are able to be apart of different groups, and also "find!" groups of interest as well.
2. Wuala has "keyboard" shortcuts! For example, "ctrl-f8," puts the view in "detailed' view. Ya may have
to press tab once to make sure you are focused in the treeview of folders or file list. You are also able to copy files from Wuala to Windows/File Explorer, or sync them as well.
