Orbios - + cloud storage operating system in your browser,

What is Dropbox? This dump files that want to have access from any point of reference and a fumble. What is Google Drive? It's like Dropbox + greatly simplified version of MS Office. All modern cloud storage containers are only in effect, that is, store files, but are not able to really work with them. Today we tell you about the tools that allow not only to store and share data, but also to perform them in a single self-contained environment. In fact, it is the operating system in a Web application format. Now, first things first.

A year ago, we handed out invites to access the cloud-based operating system called Orbios. Now this product reached the public beta test, and begin to use it anyone can. I have to say the developers, according to the first sensations, we used this time wisely. Now Orbios looks like a finished, licked, and, last but not least, more precisely oriented product. If that article, readers wondered about the value and meaning of such a tool, now questions will be gone.

Orbios - is cloud storage to a functional shell, capable of without the help of additional funds to fulfill the most relevant media files (images, music, video) in the browser.

Key Features

Interface - Web. To access only need a browser.

By default, the user is given 6 gigabytes, which is with the help of friend invites for Dropbox system and some other actions quickly and easily expanded to 16+ GB.

The appearance is no different from an abstract collective image of all current operating systems, but adjusted for the web.

There taskbar clock and running applications, change the wallpaper, and Drag & Drop.

The button in the middle at the bottom of the screen opens with a concise menu of the main application.

• Photos cloud.
• Audio cloud.
• Video Cloud.
• Files and folders.

The appointment of the first three instruments is understandable. This aggregators all drenched to the cloud files by content type. That is, all drenched and scattered on the vault pictures can be found and sorted by album in the "Photos Cloud" video - in "a cloud", and the music in the appropriate section of the music. The interface in each of the thematic areas is adapted to perform a specific type of content.

The fourth section - a representation of the file structure in the original form, that is the way it has created a user.

As mentioned above, adding files to the cloud is implemented as a standard interface through maternal OS ( "Explorer", and so on. D.), And through Drag & Drop.

It is worth noting that in Orbios implemented full support for the right-click followed by the appearance of pop-up menu, the contents of which depend on the current system partition.

Since we are talking about the cloud, then one of the main (after execution) function is Sharing files and folders. When you click on the button link is generated in the context menu that can be transferred to another user.

Settings and security

It is clear that for the comfortable work in the system, which implies long sessions and containing personal files require some protection. In this case, the user can specify the time after which the browser page running Orbios locked, and then to continue the work required to enter the PIN-code.

Also, the security section of the settings allows you to monitor in real time the number of connections to account and forced to break off the connection.

disadvantages

In all likelihood, you realize the key minus current version Orbios at the stage of the thematic repositories. Music is, the image is, the video is... Where are the documents? A table? Whether Orbios least some analog of GDrive in a text editor and spreadsheet, we could recommend it as a pretty interesting analogy, but because the developer to write an angry review: "Give documentation!". The developer said the picture:

We understand that the documents sawn, and their occurrence is expected in the near future.

The second disadvantage - mobile applications. On the service front page it says that they will be soon, but right now their absence saddens. The developer says that Android- and iOS-applications will duplicate the functionality of other popular clouds and allow the automatic transfer by mobile media files in the cloud Orbios.

in total

So, keeping in mind the idea that this is still a beta version, and everything which, in our opinion, when is not enough, there will be in the near future, we can draw the following conclusions.

Orbios now fully compete with Dropbox, but in terms of tariffs is more and more flexible. Now, in the second case, you can choose either the base rate, or 1 TB space for $ 10 per month. In Orbios more and more softly and smoothly. There are tariffs for 50 GB and 250 GB at the price of $ 3 and $ 4, respectively, and the capacity of 1 TB is $ 8.88. In this case, the speed of filling the data in the service is very good and stable.

After the arrival of tools for working with documents can be put in comparison with Orbios GDrive.

With the mobile app will be a good Orbios multifunction cloud, but if the developer implements on Android- and iOS-applications, listening to music with the offline option, then we will immediately call it Google killer Music.

Registration Orbios takes 5 seconds and does not require anything other than create an alias, specify your E-mail and password generation. Already, when you will notice quite a lot of potential and probable benefit for those who want to securely access their data from any computer, but to see ourselves not just a file structure, a complete environment for viewing and playback. Orbios also appeal to those whose employer is prohibited to bring and store on your computer music.
