Save Any Online File, Image Directly to Dropbox, Google Docs, Flickr

Save Any Online File, Image Directly to Dropbox, Google Docs, FlickrBasically I like backing up most of the important documents I download by uploading them to my Dropbox. Also some times I upload them to Google Docs for editing etc. For image I mostly upload them to Picasaweb or Flickr and share the funny ones on Facebook.

But what I mostly have to do is download them first then re-upload them again especially the images, photos. A better and productive solution would be to save the files directly into my online cloud accounts.

Save Any Online File, Image Directly to Dropbox, Google Docs, Flickr

Cloud Save is a useful chrome browser plugin which lets you save any file url link directly into your cloud accounts like Google Docs, Box.net, Dropbox, Amazon Cloud Drive, SugarSync, Facebook, Picasa, Flickr, Min.us, Twitpic and more (see screenshot above).

► Install Cloud Save <Webstore Link>

After installing this extension in your browser, right-click on any element of a web page (file, document, photo, video, etc.) and new context menu item appears in which you can select any of the list of online storage services available and save that file directly into your account. Nice and easy.

I have seen a similar kind of feature in FluffyApp, which is an easy tray app. to upload files via drag drop, that uploads images and files when you drag and drop them from your web browser into the tray icon, which then uploads them your Cloudapp account.

Another tip I’d like to share is, if you cloud account application creates a synced local folder on your computer (just like dropbox does), you can drag and drop images from a webpage into this folder to directly upload them.

Also check out this desktop app. Joukuu which lets you manage all your cloud based files from your desktop across multiple type of cloud accounts like dropbox, google docs, box etc.

Recall Websites Visited Earlier, Browsing History in Firefox Easily

Posted: 21 Jun 2011 11:27 AM PDT

Recall Websites Visited Earlier, Browsing History in Firefox EasilyWe make a lot of searches everyday through Google and other sites and visit many sites. We sometimes search for things that we searched earlier. Browser history saves us in these cases. Just type any keyword in the address bar and the browser happily shows you the sites you have visited earlier. If you have a lot of history file check out how to clear and manage history in Firefox 4.

However, there are some situations browser histories will not help you. For example, you would have previously searched for the term "fried blueberry pancake" and if you accidentally remember it as "fried raspberry pancake", browser history won’t return any result. This is because, browser history searches the complete keywords and not the part of it.

Recall Websites Visited Earlier, Browsing History in Firefox Easily

This is where the Recall Monkey add-on for Firefox comes in. Recall Monkey Firefox add on makes Firefox history search more useful by searching in a new way. If you have watched search engines, they search not only complete keywords but also the part of the keywords. Recall monkey Firefox add on works exactly in the same way.

Select "Recall Monkey" from the "File" menu in the old menu bar or press Ctrl + Alt + M in your keyboard to activate this add on and start searching for Firefox History. Unfortunately this add on doesn't support Firefox menu button. There are options to filter search results based on the "Time Range".

► Install Recall Monkey : <Add-On Link>

This is a no-restart add-on, just install and you’re ready to go.
