Access all your Files on DropBox and Google using Otixo

otixo 1

If you use a couple of cloud services, you’ll know the pain of managing files across them. I have some important files stored on my Dropbox account but I even have some documents on Google Docs, now here Otixo comes into the play and helps me in managing those files.

To keep it simple, Otixo is like Windows explorer for your files on the cloud!

Otixo on Desktop

If you don’t spend much of your time on browsing, then you might be interested in this. On Windows XP and Windows 7 you can map the network drive and thus manage the files directly from the desktop.

Here’s how you can do it on Windows XP –

  • Click Start, open My network places.

For Windows 7 Users – Otixo has a tutorial on how to map the network drive on Windows 7.

The Big Question

The war between cloud services is getting hotter day by day, and now even Apple introduced its so called iCloud. The question is, will these cloud services allow Otixo to grow? Let’s take example of Dropbox, as it’s one of the cloud service supported by Otixo, it is indirectly supporting other cloud services (Box, Google Docs etc)!

I know, only time can answer this one.

Otixo is a really nice service. Most people who use cloud storage, never use any one service. They use at least 2-3 cloud services. Well, this is a really useful tool to help manage all those files stored in the cloud.

Hmmm… Could be useful but seems expensive. It would be interesting if you did a follow up post comparing storagemadeeasy.com
