Here at Mac|Life, we really do love free apps. We love loading up our iOS devices with seriously utilitarian apps that live in the cloud, too. Here's a look at some of our favorite cloud applications that work across ALL platforms--Mac, iPhone and iPad.
Dropbox
If you're not a part of drop box, you are seriously missing out on one of the most helpful services we've ever used. The service plants a folder on your hard drive that syncs across all computers using the service. The mobile app lets you view your documents and even play a song on the go.
If you've got MobileMe, there's no reason not to access it on your iOS device. iDisk lets you view and share your MobileMe files, as well as view iWork, Office, Quicktime and PDF files. You can also access other Public folders from this particular app.
Box.net
Box.net lets you store up to 5GB Free of files in the cloud. You can view all your files--Word, Excel, Powerpoint, PDFs, audio, and more--on your iPhone and iPad through this nifty free app. You can also add comments on files and folders to differentiate between versions and get a detailed list of what has been uploaded, downloaded and updated.
I use Evernote for organizing my entirely scattered brain. It's great for pictures, simple URL saving and snippets. The app is wonderful because I can access my shopping list whenever I'm lost inside a department store, or show friends the ridiculous internet memes I've clipped for a later date.
Friendly for Facebook
Um, social networking is in the *cloud*, alright? Pictures of last Friday's party, notes you share between your friends and messages of love and betrayal all reside on those thousands of servers Facebook's got camped out somewhere in the US. And since there's no native Facebook app currently available to the massed, this one will have to do.
