Here at Touchtip, we’re into storage, and I don’t mean zip lock bags or closet organizers. We’re talking data storage that utilizes the unused disk space on our iPhones and iPod touches. We like applications that go where Apple won’t let us, swapping any kind of file between the iPhone and desktop computer. Air Sharing from Avatron Software is an extremely robust iPhone application that covers almost all of our data storage and back up needs. The first step to true data portability is the transport mechanism, and this week’s App Store Freebie gives us just that.
With Air Sharing, we can mount our iPhones just like an external drive and browse its contents in a familiar directory structure, much like using the Finder. Navigation and scrolling is fast, and we can optionally password protect any directory of our choice. Air Sharing also supports most common file types such as Microsoft Office files, iWork, web pages, pdf, rtf, source code files, and media file types for images, audio, and even video. Air Share is also offers cross platform support that let’s us move our files seamlessly between the iPhone, PC, Mac, and Linux.
Air Sharing is at least every bit as good as DataCase and Air Sharing is free of charge, but only for two weeks. As of September 22nd, Air Share will be sold in the App Store for $6.99, so get it while it’s hot.
