How to Use Dropbox

Dropbox. Intriguing name for an application but the name really speaks for itself. When you use Dropbox, literally, it is easy as "dropping" or dragging your files to your Dropbox folder.

It serves as, one, storage for your files. aka "back-up". Once you signed up for an account, you automatically get 2GB of free storage. But if that is not enough for your files, you may upgrade for a certain fee.

Another feature of Dropbox is file synchronization. You may be able to share your folders or files to other people in the Internet.

To better get a full grasp of what I am talking about, below is my tutorial.

Voice calls from Skype

Skype is a software application enabling users to make voice calls over the internet. The great thing about skype is that it is free!

I have been using skype for quite a time now and I have found it very satisfactory. I hope you readers out there do too. Here is my tutorial to help you out in using Skype.

How to use Google Call Phone

Through this new innovation made by Google, you can call any phone right from Gmail. That is through the use of Google Call Phone.

Dialing a call works just like a normal phone by using the Google Dial pad. Just click "Call Phone" at the top of your Chat list and dial a number or enter a person's name. Calls for US and Canada are free while a low rate is charge for other countries. This is helpful especially for those who have loved-ones who are in US and Canada or more-so for VA's. No more fees for calling clients. Yey!

Here is my helpful tutorial on how to use Google Call Phone.

The answer was pretty simple. In our age of technology now, learning any application is a breeze. So, I went to their site: www.scribd.com and I signed up a free account. I uploaded one of my tutorials. Now, what should I do next? I studied the site again..looked around and walah! I found my answer. Follow this simple steps as I did.

Based on their site, Basecamp is an online project collaboration tool. It is a project management software which focuses on collaboration and communication. Basecamp brings people together.

Why use Basecamp? One, basecamp does not only concentrate on figures and charts. It brings in more ideas to a project by bringing in the ideas of people to the project through the use of messaging, and writeboards. Basecamp also tracks your project progress by using milestones and to-do list so to ensure to meet deadlines, remember important activities and events.

Why use Google Calendar?

Never forget another event. -- a tagline from Google Calendar.

So, why use Google Calendar? Read the tagline again.

Google calendar is a free time-management tool offered by Google. It helps you to organize your important events and schedules. The great thing about Google calendar is you get to be reminded of your events via email or SMS notifications. This is a very helpful tool for me, as a VA so I can easily track my projects, assignments and deadlines to clients.

Thanks to my wonderful husband, Lojen who had help me put up this tutorial.
