Dear Aunt TUAW: Help me upload my stuff to Amazon Cloud

by Erica Sadun (May 23rd, 2011)

Dear Auntie TUAW, Amazon gave me a free 10 GB in their cloud to upload my music. It won't all fit since I have about 15 GB of music, so I was wondering if there was a way to upload just certain playlists without have to go to each folder and upload all the songs separately.

by Steven Sande (Sep 8th, 2010)

Sharing your files, photos, movies, and images with others through online services can sometimes be a hassle for Mac users.

by Brett Terpstra (Sep 6th, 2009)

I stumbled upon a great example of the Snow Leopard Services that I've been drooling over. The S3 Upload Service by August Lilleaas is available as a workflow which can be opened in Automator, so you can examine its inner workings. It uses AppleScript and Ruby, easily passed back and forth thanks to ...

by Steven Sande (Jul 20th, 2009)

Apple did the world a great service when they introduced Time Machine backups to OS X. Suddenly, anyone could attach an external disk drive to their Mac and have a constant set of backups at their fingertips with little or no intervention required. However, there was one very big, hairy fly ...

First Look: Twin 1.0 for Mac OS X

by Steven Sande (May 15th, 2009)

Time Machine made it easy for Leopard owners to back up their Macs on local external hard drives, and lately we've seen a number of online backup services such as Carbonite, BackBlaze, and MozyPro debut for the Mac platform. These online services are great (I personally use BackBlaze), but there's a ...

I had to do some extensive testing before I got too excited, but after a conversation with the developers I'm pleased to announce that ExpanDrive 2.0 is out. We've mentioned it before, but to recap: ExpanDrive allows you to mount remote servers as drives directly accessible in Finder. With a ...

Old-school FTP gets souped up: Interarchy 9

by Brett Terpstra (Jan 11th, 2008)

Interarchy 9, Nolobe's FTP application, is out Friday 1/11 with over 100 new features. We've covered Interarchy in the past, in part because of its old-school cred, but this release has some new-school polish. In addition to the existing support for the usual protocols and Amazon S3 transfers, ...

Panic has dropped Transmit 3.6, the latest version of the FTP app that we freakin' love here at TUAW.
