Dropbox And Google Docs: Get the Best of Both Worlds with this Free App

Here's a novel but highly useful Windows freeware program. Like Dropbox, it
syncs your files across all your computers and also keeps them in the cloud.
But unlike Dropbox, you don't have to sign up for another storage service.
Instead, it uses your Google Docs file area. There are a couple of advantages
to doing things this way. First, your Google Docs storage space is larger
than the free 2 GB that DropBox provides. Secondly, and much more
importantly, Google Docs allows you to edit and view your files in your
browser, whereas the standard Dropbox storage is, well, just storage. And all
changes are seamlessly synced across your devices.

Freeware Game Of The Week

Our games editor George_J writes "'Confrontation or Avoidance'? Which one
would you choose? Alright, I'll be more specific. Compare games like Left 4
Dead, Dead Rising, Resident Evil to the likes of Hitman, Thief, Splinter
Cell. The gameplay of these two types of games is totally different. The
former focuses on pure action where you obliterate everything you see on the
screen while the latter focuses on stealth where brains are as important as
brawn. I've loved playing stealth based games since I was a teenager and so,
I decided to feature one of them for the new year that is shockingly good
