E&O dropbox account
For those who don't know what dropbox is, it's an online file repository, where you can store files, and share them with other dropbox users. In order to use it, you have to have a dropbox account.
I have set up an account (evolutionandorigins) which will be based from the evolutionandorigins gmail account to allow members here to share files (papers etc) which may be of interest to each other I will set up folders as required - a general E&O folder that all here can access, and if people really need them, more limited folders For now, I will only give the folders read access, so only I can put files in - so if you want a file in there, you have to email it to the evolutionandorigins email account and then PM me to put it in dropbox, though I may start to give other people write access too. The rules for the dropbox folders will be completely arbitrary. If I decide you annoy me or I even just feel like it, I will remove peoples' access, or change their access rights. For those people who do not have a dropbox account please PM me, and I will invite you (if I invite people, it gives me extra space on the account)

Though I still haven't got it to automatically sync from my work computer. I have to exit dropbox and reopen (to download - the upload syncs fine). I think it's to do with the proxy settings, but I go sort of cross-eyed when people start talking about shit like that.

Quickoffice Mobile Suite
it can open files on Dropbox, Box net and Google Docs accounts and edit Word Docs and Excel files. I wish I could also edit Powerpoints but I haven't found anything that can do that yet. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/quick...310723177?mt=8 I also have Goodreader which also accesses Dropbox files - it has by far the best of the iPhone PDF readers - can handle really big files with lots of images and it can also extract and reflow text from PDF's (which can then be edited as it has a text editor although it can't handle Word Docs and Docx like QuickOffice can) - makes it a good ebook reader too http://www.goodiware.com/goodreader.html Last edited by Monad; 04-30-2010 at 10:22 PM. |

If you have a gmail account, you can use google docs. They've changed the service so that you can share any type of file.

I'm in charge of it. I have set up an account just for TR - I'm not running this through my personal dropbox

ok, I've invited you - I got your email addresses from your user accounts, so check those.
could people please PM me with their email addresses if they want an invite - it saves me having to dig into the admin panel
