Otixo offers free mobile apps for Google Play, iOS, Windows Phone and Windows. This freemium service is a terrific option for managing and transferring files between multiple cloud accounts, including the usual suspects (Dropbox et al) plus some you wouldn’t expect, such as Facebook (for photos), SugarSync, Picasa, FilesAnywhere and Amazon S3. It did work on the REACHit website.įortunately, there are other fish in the cloud-storage-management sea, namely Otixo. The ability to transfer files between cloud services is important, however, and I was disappointed I couldn’t get it to work in the Android app. REACHit is new, and new apps and services often have bugs or half baked features. Maybe users with newer tablets or smartphones will have a better experience, but I was frequently annoyed by the lag time. Something else worth mentioning: REACHit is sluggish on my Nexus 7. The next release of REACHit will allow users to grad and drop files from a phone to PC and will be available in January 2015.”) (After this post was published, Lenovo reached out with the following statement regarding the drag-and-drop feature: “REACHit only provides support for dragging and dropping files through the PC interface. Lenovo’s press release says “REACHit allows users to move files from a phone to PC or between storage locations by dragging and dropping the files within the app’s interface.” But how? Dragging and dropping didn’t work for me, nor did I find any instructions for transferring files between accounts in the Android app’s help section or in Lenovo’s REACHit online FAQs. On Android, however, I wasn’t able to transfer files between cloud accounts. Sharing files via email, downloadable links and other means also worked as advertised. I was also able to open files, make edits and store the files locally on my Android tablet.
In most cases, searching for files across all cloud accounts worked as expected.
