How to use Amazon Cloud Drive Like a Hard Disk

Wish you could use Amazon Cloud Drive like an external hard disk? If you use online storage to backup your digital music collection or other types of important files, then this tutorial will demonstrate how to integrate Amazon's Cloud Drive into your desktop so it acts just like a real Windows folder. Read on to discover how to drag and drop files into the cloud without having to use your Web browser. Read more


Top Online Storage Sites

If you've amassed quite a large (and expensive) music collection, then simply backing it up onto CDs, DVDs, or a hard drive may not be enough to prevent loss. To add another layer of protection you should therefore consider remote storage; this extra level of fault tolerance is well worth considering to safeguard the investment in time and money you have made in building up your music collection.

Free Music Downloads: Alternative Halloween Mixtape Special

Seeing that the spooky season is just around the corner too, you might just fancy some alternative Halloween music to play at your party -- it's a bit different to the typical Halloween music albums that you probably dig out this time of the year! The artists/bands featured in our Alternative Halloween Mixtape Special are:

  • MiM0SA
  • Hey Champ
  • Gigamesh
