A Journey of a Virtual Assistant

Doing my assignment as VA I need to take screenshots to put it on my presentation. I find it hard to do these with print screen from windows and I bet all of us, at one time or another find a need for a good and simple screen capture tool. But, like most tools, often it has features you rarely use or just don’t need. Sometimes you need a tool that does “just enough”. Well here is a tool that just does that.

Jing, is a screen casting tool that is free to download and install. It’s a screen grabber, but it can also grab screen videos and upload to a Web site, FTP, computer or clipboard, this program automatically creates a URL where they can be directly viewed by other people, once you’ve given them the links.

Dropbox is the popular online file storage service that acts as a virtual hard drive for your data and it is insanely useful for swapping files with friends or colleagues, own Dropbox just as it does in yours. Any changes made to the shared folder’s contents will appear instantaneously to everyone who is a member of the folder or backing up your important stuff and accessing it from any computer or mobile device.

It’s more than just file sharing and storage on its surface, Dropbox is simply cloud storage, your hard drive in the sky. But with a little bit of elbow grease, you can watch it unfold into so much more than that.

Dropbox gives you 2 GB of storage for free, but if you need more space you can get up to 100 GB for $19.99 per month
