Online file storage services such as SkyDrive and Amazon S3 are becoming increasingly popular, and many of us additionally save documents and other files online daily with webapps like Google Apps. Here's how you can integrate these storage services with your Windows PC and access them just like your normal hard drive and flash drives.

Cloud computing promises to make file organization simpler, since you can save your files online and access them from anywhere. However, often the web interfaces are slow and difficult to use, which makes it hard to keep all of your files online. Gladinet is a free tool for Windows that lets you access many different online storage services directly in Windows Explorer. It mounts these accounts as networked storage devices, and lets you save, move, and rename files just as you would on your standard hard drive. Here's an overview of how you can use Gladinet with the services you use to keep all of your data organized the way that works best for you.

Getting Started

Download the free Gladinet Starter edition (link below) and install as normal. Note that both 32-bit and 64-bit editions are available, so choose the correct one for your system.
