Each day begins to take on more importance to gain access to certain files from anywhere through the Internet. The idea is to forget the pendrives or any other type of physical unit and power house somewhere virtual whatever we want and be able to share it if they want, with our friends, clients or whoever ultimately.

OpenDrive come to help us with this task. OpenDrive has been presented as a virtual drive in which we can access our computer power and hence save whatever we want, with a limit of 1GB, and have access to it when we want and where we want, and also able to obtain the direct link to files to send to whom we want and you can download.

In addition, another of the main ideas of OpenDrive is to gain access to our files housed on the Internet and edit in real time without having to download it. All over the Internet. The interface OpenDrive is practically non-existent since manage all through the file browser, which makes it very easy to use for anyone.

We may also create an account to various persons and hence save all files of the group, which will have access and we can modify them all without major problems. To access our files from one computer or device that is not where we installed the client OpenDrive simply must go to a website that they give us and identify with our data.

For now OpenDrive is in beta open, so anyone can register and get a free account with 1GB storage although it remains to be seen as developed in the future and if any profit in the premium version that we can have more storage space , 1GB because personally I do not think enough for some uses.

If you want to see how it works OpenDrive you can see this tutorial:

In Genbeta we have already talked about dropbox a service almost identical but it offers 2GB of storage, although dropbox is still in private beta and is necessary to obtain an invitation to use it.

OpenDrive works only with Windows XP and Vista but on the web say they soon will be available for Mac.
