A few weeks ago I put together a list of my favorite iPhone apps. Well since then, this list has developed and I have now settled into a complementing set of apps for the PC, Mac and iPhone.
Working on both a Mac and PC is no big deal, everything is pretty much the same. However because I have been to lazy to network them (that’s next month) I have searched for some apps I can use that can make the on the fly file sharing process a little easier.
So what are we using?
Air Sharing for iPhone
Can’t go past this for a wireless file sharing app for the iPhone. Viewable formats include: iWork, Office, Web Archive, Web Page, PDF, HTML, RTF, RTFD, Plain Text, Source Code, MPEG-4, H.264, 3GPP, all iPhone Audio formats, and Image formats including Gif, PNG, JPG, TIFF, and more. The file browser also features pinch zooming and landscape mode.
Visit iTunes for more info
IDrive
Like most, I have a few portable backup drives however I do not like carrying them with me all the time. So to keep it simple I now use IDrive on a daily and weekly basis. With scheduled backups and 2GB of free storage, you can’t go past it for a free online and backup storage service.
Visit the iDrive website
Synkron
Until recently I have been a big fan of SyncToy, now I am using Synkron on the Mac and PC. A nicer, easier to use interface and of couse, there is a Mac and PC version unlike some other Syncing apps. If you’re into it, there’s also a portable version!

Of course, none if this would work without an Internet connection and if you’re going to use Air Sharing it will have to be a wireless one.
For an alternative to IDrive (for stoage only) you could use Box.net.
Hardware is a DELL Latitude with XP, MacBook Pro with OS X and iPhone 3G. Internet connection and iPhone data both with OPTUS.
da best. Keep it going! Thank you
I think that iDrive is a great application. I use it quite often.
It’s a masterpiece. I have never thought people can have such ideas and thoughts. You are great.
