Send Files from a URL Directly to your Dropbox or Email

Do you need to download a file but you are in a computer or device that prohibits downloading? Fear not, there’s a web app called sideCLOUDload that lets you save files directly to the “Cloud.”

SideCLOUDload allows you to send files from a download link to your Dropbox or email account. You can perform the download by copying the download link or source link to SideCLOUDload’s text box. After providing your Dropbox credentials or email address to sideCLOUDload, hit submit and be on your way.

This is a lot better than copying the download link and saving it to your email. By using the app, you can immediately share the file that you’ve downloaded. You’ll be sharing the actual file, and not just the link which will also serve as a backup of the file should it be removed from the original source.

You can also use the app to remotely download files from the web to your computer. The automatic syncing feature of Dropbox will allow you to save files to your computer once they have been sideCLOUDloaded. Use your work computer, iPhone, iPad, Android Phone or Android Tablet to sideCLOUDload.

Remotely Download Files to your Computer by Using DropBox and URL Droplet

What do you normally do when you come across a file that you need to download while you’re outside? The easiest way to remember a download link is to save it to your email and download it later. But, what if you can save a lot of time (especially for large files) by downloading the file straight to your computer while you’re outside and check it when you get home?

By using the DropBox service and URL Droplet, you can easily copy a download link and let DropBox do the downloading for you. All you need to do is give URL Droplet access to your DropBox account, paste the download link to URL Droplet and the download will begin.

You can download from anywhere, café, office or a friend’s house and not wait for it to finish. You can even use your Phone to copy the download link, paste it to Save URL Droplet, close the phone and expect the file to be on your computer when you get home (provided that you left your computer open and online or).

How to Share and Download an Entire Album from Flickr

Sometimes, a friend will ask you to send them and entire album of photos even if you’ve uploaded them to your Flickr account. The common reason for this is that it takes to damn long to go through each photo and download them manually. Thankfully, there’s a web app that you can use to share an entire Flickr album that is ready for downloading.

FlickAndShare will let you share and download and entire Flick set in three simple steps. The first step is to connect your Flickr account with FlickAndShare. Then, simply choose the set to share. You’ll be given a short link to download all the photos in your set. The final step is of course to share the link and let your friends download the photos you’ve shared.

This simple web app will save you and your friends a lot of time if you’re sharing a large amount of photos, especially if you’re sharing the same album to a number of people. Upload to your Flickr account, create a link and let them download. Simple.

BlogRadio: Listen to Any Blog Anywhere

BlogRadio is a cloud based, streaming media for RSS. It simply means that you can listen to any blog that has RSS (which is almost all blogs). If you’re too busy to read your favorite blogs but still want to be updated, you can listen to them while you do your stuff. And it’s all for free.

How it works

You’ll have to download a desktop application which supports three major operating systems (Windows, Linux, Mac OS-X). Once installed, simply subscribe to your favorite blog(s) using the BlogRadio Desktop Manager Tool. BlogRadio will convert the text of the blog to an audio file for you. All that’s left for you to do now is to sit back and listen.

BlogRadio is an alternative way of keeping in-touch with your favorite blogs. If you’re too busy to read them, why not listen to them. You can choose a male or female voice to read for you and they are made to sound as natural as possible.

Blog Radio also has an iPhone app that allows you to sync your streams and listen (and view images) using your iPhone.
