Can I access my cloud files without accessing my home computer?

Question

What do I need to do if I am away and without my home computer and I need to access my cloud files? Can I connect using any other computer in another part of the world?

Answer 1

You will be able to access Ubuntu One, Dropbox, Sugar Sync, 4shared, Mediafire, Google Drive and most other cloud services through their websites. From there, most of them will allow you to rename, relocate, open, download ro execute the files with password permission. This will only work with an internet connection, if you are unable to establish such a connection, I recommend using a USB which can easy match 2-20GB Storage space.
Saying this, I do advise you to be cautious if you wish to access your account via free WiFi from Internet cafes or hotspots.

Good luck!

You can access your files that you have uploaded to the cloud (I am assuming Ubuntu One or Dropbox). Just go to their respective website, log in, and you should be able to access your cloud files anywhere in the world, as long as you have an internet connection.
