Get A Consolidated View Of All Email Attachments In Gmail — View All Gmail Attachments All At Once

Here's another good reason why Gmail is still the best email service as yet:

You can now get a consolidated view of all email attachments sent to your Gmail account.

Being able to view and manage all email attachments in single manageable place basically means convenience. You don't want to waste your time searching through your inbox for email attachments, right?

Access, Manage All Files Stored Across Multiple Cloud Accounts All At Once

Well, the consolidation of email attachments is not at all a built-in feature of Gmail. Rather it is made possible by another web services called Attachments.me and DropBox. And Griffith, one of my readers here, shares you the gist on how get it up and running.

Very few simple steps and you should be able to see all Gmail attachments in one manageable place.

Access, Manage All Email Attachments In One Manageable Place (Gmail)

Note: Before you do the setup, make sure you're logged in to both DropBox and Gmail accounts. And to make the setup short, use Google Chrome browser.

Getting started with Attachments.me

Attachments.me is quite snap to use. First you need to download/install Attachments.me Chrome extensions from its website (link). Once installation is complete, you should be taken back to your Gmail's account. This time, you may need to authorize the app to connect to your Gmail account.

Cloud Save: The Quickest Way To Download, Backup Files Straight To The Cloud

Once Attachments.me and Gmail are connected, you'll now get introduced on how to make it work. An on-screen instruction should be displayed straight on your inbox, hinting you to do some basic actions such as connecting Attachments.me and DropBox (or Box) account, saving your first email attachment to your cloud storage account (in this case, DropBox), and specifying DropBox directory where email attachment gets saved.

The on-screen instruction will also introduce you to "filters", which allows you automatically send, save all email attachments to your DropBox/Box account when certain criterion meets. This is really handy when you want to put all work-related files sent as email attachments in one manageable size.

Automatically Backup WordPress Blog Database To DropBox

Now, as soon as DropBox authorization/setup is complete, you should  be able to view and manage all your email attachments from your DropBox account. Or you can access, manage all email attachments straight from your Attachments.me account (we recommend this).

How To: Block, Restrict Access To Unwanted Websites - No Additional Software Needed

Not all websites are safe for kids; some portals promote sexual curiosity while others expose anti-racism and some violence of that sort. In corporate scene, there are websites that are not supposed to be visited especially during working hours. Facebook, YouTube, TumBlr, Orkut, Twitter – name them all – have been the major problems recently in schools and many other business organizations.

If you’re a mother who wishes to protect your child from bad websites or a network admin who is responsible for the network activity of company workforce, then, this short tutorial will teach you how to restrict internet access to a specific website – no additional software needed.

Block Specific Websites At School, Office Workstations - No Software Needed

Step 1 Log in to your computer as Administrator.

Step 2 Navigate through the Hosts File. Click Start > Run and type the following:

\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

Windows should prompt you an "Open with" dialog (see below). Just select "Notepad" or any other text editor and hit OK.

NOTE: To access the hosts file on on Windows 7, you may need to temporarily disable all active antivirus software first. Then run Notepad as Administrator, open the host file by navigating over here: \Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts.

Step 3 Now, let’s try to block Facebook and Twitter. All we need to do is to add the following codes below the lines containing 127.0.0.1 localhosts (if you cannot see it, create it):

127.0.0.1 facebook.com
127.0.0.1 www.facebook.com
127.0.0.1 m.facebook.com
127.0.0.1 touch.facebook.com
127.0.0.1 twitter.com
127.0.0.1 m.twitter.com

Step 4 Now, save the File and see it yourself!

If you’ve performed right the procedures above, your computer should not be able to access Facebook and Twitter. If you want to block more websites (e.g. Twitter, YouTube, Orkut etc.), just access the Host File and append the domain name or web address and save.

Blocking specific websites is really that easy!

How To: Circumvent, Remove The Maximum 2MB File Size Upload Limits In Google Docs

While working with other collaborators in our team on a certain web project, I recently learned that uploaded document files that are converted to Google documents format cannot be larger than 2MB. Google Docs seem to protest for any uploaded files/documents of more than 2MB in size, which I believe a big turn off for anyone who wants to get the job done fast.

Here's a sample failed upload prompt from Google Docs. It says "Sorry, this file is too big. We can only convert files up to 2 MB in size.":

Well, obviously there is this file size upload restrictions on Google Docs, and unfortunately there's not such a good web app similar to Google Docs that offers seamless, real-time collaboration at no cost.

Access, Manage All Files Stored Across Multiple Cloud Storage Accounts In One Place

So let's get our head back to Google.

Getting Rid Of Google Docs' 2MB Upload File Size Limits

If you ever found yourself in a complete need to upload large documents, spreadsheets to Google Docs but could not due to file size restrictions, you might find this simple workaround useful. (For more of our Google-related goodies, you can find them HERE).

Alright, here's the trick:

Rather than uploading your large files, spreadsheets and documents to Google Docs, send them all to your own Gmail account. As soon as you receive all the documents, save them to your Google Docs account. Yes, it's really that quick.

Cloud Save - The Quickest Way To Download, Backup Files Straight To The Cloud

Here are the basic steps:

Step 1 Send the document to your own Gmail account.

Step 2 Once received, click on "View". Gmail should launch Google Doc viewer in a separate tab/window.

Step 3 Now, hit that tiny "Save in Google Docs" button at the upper right corner of the viewer. Once done, you should see your newly-added file to your Google Docs collection.

It's quite surprising to note that it takes only Gmail to remove that file size upload restriction in Google Docs. So next time, if you encounter that same Google Docs prompt again, just follow that dead simple Google hacks. Enjoy!

How To: Lock, Protect Certain Programs Installed On Your Computer

When you're working in a shared computer, it is often necessary to restrict others from accessing certain applications/programs installed on your PC. You don't want other people to get access with your confidential information by just simply launching certain apps without you knowing. Also, you cannot afford your kids to mess around with your files and open certain apps which could potentially bring them to websites with inappropriate contents.    

How To: Sync Your Files Across Multiple Computers, Mobile Devices

Here I am going to walk you through to another free tool that can help you prevent others from executing certain applications installed on your computer. The tool is called Applocker, a free software locking tool that locks certain applications on your computer. If you don't want others to run certain apps on your computer, then, Applocker is for you.

Applocker - Prevent Others From Opening/Executing Certain Apps On Your Computer

Applocker is a freeware that prevents specified programs from being launched. It lets you limit what applications can be used on your computer. Applocker is very useful especially for parents who want to restrict their kids to use computer, or just to keep certain programs out of reach of other people. Applocker is only limited to locking .EXE files, so you cannot lock control panel, and anything of that sort. You can however lock things like Task Manager, Explorer, Firefox, FileZilla and other .EXE files.

Protect Your USB Stick With A Password

Here's how you can lock specific programs on your computer with Applocker:

1. Download and install your free copy of Applocke here.
2. Launch and configure the app.

Applocker may not be the best free app-locking software available today, but we can still get the best protection by doing some 'dirty tricks'. Applocker by default allows you to lock any application by simply specifying executable's file-name. But the app doesn't have this feature of self-protection -- Applocker is not protected by itself.

Password Protect, Lock Google Chrome

To protect Applocker from being launched, just move Applocker.exe and config.txt  to any secret directory, or you can save it on your flash drive. Access both files here: C:\Program Files\SmartX\Smart-X AppLocker. And yes, you can also lock Applocker.exe using the app itself; just go to Application Locker Configuration and add Applocker.exe as protected .EXE. In order to open the locked Applocker.exe, just rename the actual Applocker.exe file to anything like Applocker1.exe.


Lock certain programs installed on your PC; prevent your kids and other users from opening unwanted apps!

Cloud Save: The Quickest Way To Download, Backup Files Straight To The Cloud 

With Otixo you can:

1. Search and find your files across many cloud-based services in one simple step.

Admit it: it's a pain to look for a particular file especially when all you can remember is that it was saved somewhere in the cloud and you can't seem to remember which cloud services it was saved. Finding a particular file is even awful lot harder especially if you're to deal with a large collection of files. Thankfully Otixo comes with a smart search function enabling you to search for a particular file, regardless of its virtual file location. Think of Otixo like Apple's Finder or Window's File Explorer, but for the cloud.

There are several occassions when I need to transfer files from my Google Docs to DropBox account. For example, I want to generate a direct HTTP link for my PSD file stored in Google Docs so I can edit it using PSD editor online. Google Docs unfortunately cannot provide me a public HTTP link (required by most online PSD editor) so I need to move the file to DropBox first and let DropBox generates a public HTTP link for me. Also, Google Docs can't seem to render images embedded in a document or spreadsheet so all I need to do is to generate a public link so I can fully open the file using free document and excel viewing tool online.

Google Records Your Online Searches, Web Visits - Here's How To Disable It

Even the departed ones born during Stone Age would surely love this insanely crazy idea; they will be memorialized online...and that would mean forever.

Those who have just lost or about to lose (sorry for the word) the most important people in their lives may want to check out iMorial, a free online tribute and memorial website open for everyone. Think of it as Wikipedia and Facebook combined. Bereaved families can post a bio or a short story about the life of the departed; date and cause of death, hobbies, favorite artists, interests, affiliations, many others.




The iMorial page for your loved ones also has a wall (similar to Facebook), where family members and friends and long-lost friends can post a tribute, or leave personal messages both for the departed and bereaved family. Orbituary notices and funeral arrangements can also be posted as well as photographs, slideshows, albums or videos. And the nice thing about it is that you can post instructions for those visitors who wish to make contributions in the memory of the departed one.
