Orbios: my personal cloud pin (+ distribution of invites)
Web Services / / December 24, 2019
More recently, the network has a very interesting project called Orbios. In a nutshell, it is a cloud operating system, which is accessed through a standard web browser. Now Orbios too young for mass raids curious users, and therefore is in closed testing. We have received an invitation to the test and made for you a compact overview of the capabilities and features of the service, and the more we have a certain number of invites for our beloved readers.
So, after receiving an invitation the user is prompted to create an account, through which he will enter the personalized cloud environment. Registering is very fast, though a bit buggy, but we managed.
Relatives and friends
And here we have it - the main Orbios menu. Everyone will find here some similarities with your favorite operating system and will be right. Still, existing operating systems are not that different, especially in terms of interface, but in this case, the designers clearly drew inspiration from OS X.
In fact, for a long time to deal with it does not have a system. Even after Windows, everything seems quite familiar and works similarly. We have the "My Cloud" - analogous to "My Computer."
Settings (Control Panel) and, of course, shopping. Labels move freely on the desktop, but at some point basket just disappeared from the screen, and return it to us failed :(
In the right bottom of the interface is the transition button in full-screen mode (the impression that the axis is standing right by the host computer), volume control, Search, Process Manager (shown here to download and upload files, and other user-initiated processes), exit button from the system and a link to the posting form fidbek.
Analogue "Start" button is located in the lower center. As you can see from the screenshot, at the moment, developers are actively Orbios sawing system, not only in the direction of multi-cloud storage, but also to the side universal online media center with the help of which a user can organize and play all of the supported file types directly in the shell browser.
Documentation
"Cloud documents" - a local equivalent of Google Docs. As in guglovom service, the user is able to fumble documents with other users of the service.
Audio, video, pictures
Audio, Video and Fotooblaka expected implement storage and playback of the corresponding file formats. As we mentioned above, in the case of media Orbios acts as an online tool for organizing and playing back user-generated content. When downloading a video file is converted to guarantee playback in the embedded video player, and then fill in the content repository from the general collection, you can create your playlists. Just like on your computer.
If we talk about the pictures, the system provides not only the landscape area for storing photos and other graphics, but also means plain graphics processing.
Sharing, work, entertainment
"Visitor" - an analog of the shared folder in Dropbox. This could perekidat files to provide them shared. Restrictions on the type of files we have not found.
In Orbios have a chat with emoticons and other pleasures of a social component. In addition to talk tete-a-tete of the conference are available and can be screwed to the message file from your storage.
Explain the function application "Address Book" and "notebook" is not required.
Attentive user should note that the right of the application menu has a mug - it's the next page application and we can guess where it was borrowed.
The second page of the application hides a map of the Moscow Metro with function offers the optimum route options and approximate counting the time spent on the trip.
Calendar - this is just the calendar, just like in Windows. Without the addition of events and other actions, which offers a similar tool from Google. We hope that in the future, this application will evolve into a kind of organizer.
Calculator Pro does not need to talk with him everything is clear.
Last business tool in the list - Document viewer. Here the user can view a document that is stored in the cloud, or drag in the preview file directly from your computer.
So what is the AXIS without games. Here kill time is available at favorite childhood "Tic Tac Toe".
It is clear that over time the number of applications will continue to grow, including through the issuance of development tools for third-party developers.
Total
Overall, despite some dampness, the project can already act as a full-fledged online platform to store, organize, work and play all major file types and data. It provides a cloud storage with the possibility of card sharing and working with files directly in the cloud and is very pleasant visually. A little confused a small amount of space available for storing files of 3 gigabytes. It is possible that in the future, developers will use the expansion of storage size as a basis for the monetization of the service, but even 3 GB free in conjunction with a pack of online tools to view and edit - it very nice.
Invites
How do I get an invite? Very simple. We agreed with the developers of the guaranteed provision, invite the first hundred people to leave a request for an invitation from the time this article comes out on Layfhakere. Service is at Orbios.comAnd on its main page, you will find a form for filing. Do not miss :)
