OneNote, JungleDisk and S3 - My Vista Webdav Solution
May 16th, 2007
I started using MS OneNote to organize all of my work info, and there is a lot (Google notes just dont cut it). My Moleskine is fine, but has its analog limitations. After a while of using OneNote I lost interest due to the hoop jumping I had to go through to synch my laptop to my work desktop to my home pc, etc… I then decided to try to use a common shared webdav space. Easier said than done.
I searched high and low, through the free and pay services, but was unable to get any of the popular (TechCrunch) webdav/space services to work on my Vistas.
My prayers were answered by JungleDisk. JungleDisk puts a Webdav front end on S3, Amazon’s storage service. At $.15 a gig this was a no brainer and on Vista - EASY PIE. Up and running within 15 minutes. It’s unlimited, fast and can be accessed consistently from all my pc’s. What else can I use this for?
Long story short - JungleDisk GOOD, S3 GOOD.
