UDPATE: 4Shared actually offers 15GB of data (not 10 as previously reported).
4Shared is a virtual drive solution that gives you drag and drop storage with 15GB of space for free. While competitors like Dropbox have very popular apps and get great ratings, it looks like 4Shared is positioning itself as a viable alternative with so much free space. The 4Shared app is available for BlackBerry, as well as across other platforms such as desktop, iPhone, iPad, Android, and Symbian.
Dropbox has been in beta for some time and the app is now available to download for the public. Dropbox is a valuable service for anyone who wants to share files and the mobile client lets you do it all on the go. What’s also cool about Dropbox is their publicly available API which allows developers to create applications around the service. There are over 100 third party mobile applications now in market that use the company’s mobile APIs to make mobile document editing, image capture, note taking and other features available to Dropbox users.
Dropbox is a simple file sharing and syncing service that comes with a mobile website and soon to be BlackBerry app. According to an email that was sent out to its 4 million users, the BlackBerry app is said to be “coming soon.”
The Dropbox service is really helpful for storing media files that can be accessible from anywhere. Users get 2GB worth of free space, with add-on plans offering more store and functionality for a fee.
YouMail have announced their DropBox service: a free service that allows users to integrate VoIP and PBX voicemail with your BlackBerry voicemail. To use this service, your VoIP or PBX must support delivering voicemails by email as an MP3 or WAV file.
Every YouMail customer has a DropBox at myphonenumber@my.youmail.com (ie. 8881234567@my.youmail.com). To setup this DropBox, change the email address that your VoIP voicemail is delievered to, to the DropBox email provided.
Once setup, all voicemails sent to your DropBox should then appear in the YouMail inbox. Once there in YouMail, you have access to key YouMail features including access from BlackBerry apps, voicemail sharing, spam filtering, and more. You’ll even get full Caller ID from most services.
