Insync -- byebye to your USB sticks. & should I drop dropbox for it?

Insychq.com. It's not a boyband, owkei. My simple description of it: It saves/backs up your google docs into your computer. If you are a google docs fan, then this will come handy. Why? This way you can access your google docs if you don't have an internet (correct me if I'm wrong), or whatever legal purpose you have in mind. If you are a dropbox fan, then it's like a dropbox plus a google integration.

I'm confusing with my above description. Let me do it again. So Insync is actually more of dropbox + google docs.

I don't like to mention dropbox when describing Insync but it's the easiest way I can explain it, so I have to deal with it. So it's like dropbox because you can install it like a local folder in your computer. Then, you can just drop any files into that folder.

Then it will sync/send/save, in the background, the files you add to the Insync folder to your google docs and/or to the Insync web 'server.'

Once your files are in the Insync web server or 'cloud' (as what others would call it), you can then access your files from any computer as long as it has internet connection by simply logging in to your Insychq account or google docs account. So you no longer need to carry around USB sticks. =)

Files added to Insync/Google Docs folder will also sync to my google docs
And, you also don't need to pass around your USB stick to your friends, or email each other files back and forth, because you can share your folder from your Insync account to your friends. So you can also use Insync as a collaboration tool.




To say goodbye to file chaos, get a beta invitation from https://www.insynchq.com and use this.

The team behind Insync are headed by Terence Pua and Marte Soliza, who are from Pusit/Xackup which were/are(?) with Friendster then. The rest of the team are Moises Aranas, Jomel Imperio, and Ray DiƱo -- the engineers. PROUDLY PINOY.

Fun Trivia: It's name is supposed to iSync, but since Apple release a product with that name, they added 'n' and it became Insync. So, they're not really boyband Nsnyc fans. It's just that they probably figured out Steve Jobs' lawsuits are deadlier than of Justin Timberlake. =)
