I'm thinking of buying a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 while I'm here in Seoul. They seem quite nice. (A friend has an 8.9, and it's slick.)

what's the advantage of buying in Seoul? are there any added features?

i know about that feature, but Gdocs emphasises on documents but Dropbox is more on general storage. that is why i like it even more in Dropbox because my sharing is not limited to documents.. :)

Well now that Google Docs is (part of?) Google Drive, it's no longer emphasizing documents but general storage. Just like Dropbox.

lol, that fact is not lost on me.. :D

i actually like this feature. if you want to share a certain file in a folder, there is  no need to move that file into the 'Public' folder. thus orphaning it from the rest of the items in the original folder.
agreed, no big deal but it's an oft requested feature and quite convenient too.
That has been possible for ages with Gdocs. You just email people with a sharing link to the document, and the link can give anyone who has it read access, or write access, if you stipulate that.
At any time, you can revert the file to non-shared/"private" status, and thus remove further read/write access to the file at that point - thus rendering the sharing link obsolete.

hmm.. by the time it's activated for me, it'll be a case of too little too late..

prints here as well using PDF x-change viewer.. looked into the document's permission and there is no restriction. in fact printing is set to 'High Resolution'. something is wrong with Adobe, i guess?

So now you don't have to put stuff in the public folder to share it with people? Cool!

That's it? Is that really such a big deal?

Still worrying. It would have been nicer if the second factor was restricted to just the mobile phone. There are a whole lot of people working with already compromised email accounts.

already compromised?!? then they have plenty of other stuff to worry about rather than an insecure Windows Live ID.. :D
536
Worries me slightly. I mean, it sounds like a nice idea, I'm just not sure I think Windows Live ID provides enough security to give access to all your files.

more of that here. apparently there is a "second factor of authentication".

Note that, in order to access a remote PC you will have to provide a second factor of authentication beyond your account password. You’ll need to enter a code that we send to your mobile phone or alternate email address even if you’re already signed in to your SkyDrive account (if you’re already on a trusted PC, you won’t have to do this every time, and it is easy to do this one-time setup). This means that anyone wanting access to your remote PC would have to have access not only to your account, but also to either an alternate email or your phone (which they would need to physically possess).

How do I sign out of it and login with a different hotmail account?
-Carol Haynes (April 24, 2012, 05:56 PM)

try the 'unlink skydrive' option. it will prompt the "getting started" screen again and you can enter another credentials.

@cyberdiva: i read somewhere that if you are using more than 5GB of the storage and your account will be auto-upgraded. no opt-in necessary. anyway, i'm posting the screenie i took earlier..

Also, it is worth noting that both searches WILL open in one browser window if browser was launched before searches. If searches are launched while browser isn't, two browser windows will open.

thanks for the report, i need to study further why this happens.. in any case, i will get back to you.

Would it be possible that when both are used for search (Ctrl+Alt+Enter) only one browser window opens with two tabs? Currently two browser windows open.

@Attronarch: what browser are you using? i'm afraid this is a per-browser setting but i might be mistaken..
