Save Web Files Instantly Saves Online Files to the Cloud

Save Web Files Instantly Saves Online Files to the Cloud

Generally speaking, if you want to save a file from the internet to a service like Dropbox, Google Drive, or Skydrive, you have to download it to your computer first, then upload it into cloud storage. Save Web Files is a simple webapp that cuts out that middle step.

All you need to do is enter the URL of the file you want to download, and click the cloud storage service you're using. Save Web Files does the rest without downloading the file to your computer. This comes in handy when you're on a machine you can't download files to, or when you just don't want to waste the time downloading and then uploading a file.

CupCloud Saves Tabs and Documents, Instantly Loads Them On Another PC

Windows/OS X: CupCloud makes it easy to save and stop your work on one computer and pick right up where you left off on another, or save your session so you can reboot your computer and get right back to work without opening a ton of tabs or applications again.

CupCloud is in public beta right now, but it works like a charm. Just keep CupCloud running in the background on your Windows PC or Mac, and when you need to save your computer's session, just bring up the window and click "Cup" to save your system's current state—that includes open browser windows, open documents, files, and Explorer or Finder windows. Then, when you sit down at your other computer, you can click "uncup" to automatically open the programs you were working in, tabs you were reading, documents you were editing, and so on. It's quick and easy—and you don't have to leave everything open on the other computer for it to work.

Similarly, the app is useful if you suddenly have to reboot—like after a new application install, or because your IT department just pushed new updates to your computer that require a restart. Just Cup your current session, reboot, Uncup it, and you're back to work. You can even share those "cups," or saved sessions, with others so you can work together.

CupCloud isn't perfect—right now it only supports popular web browsers, Microsoft Office, Apple iWork, Finder, Explorer, and Acrobat—but more applications are coming soon as the beta progresses. You'll still have to remember to re-open your IM client, for exampe, or your favorite Twitter app. However, the service is completely free and very useful. Hit the link below to see how it works, and to sign up.

Imgur Extension by Metronomik Rehosts Images Instantly

Chrome: Imgur took the crown as our favorite image host for it's speed and ease of use, and imgur Extension by Metronomik takes a few extra steps out of the process for Chrome users.

Once the extension is installed, you'll see a "rehost image" option when you right click on any image file in Chrome. You can also click the imgur icon in your extensions list to open up a new tab where you can drag and drop multiple files from your computer to automatically upload to the service. Once they've uploaded, just mouse over the thumbnails and click "copy link" to get direct URLs for the hosted files. If you have an Imgur account, you can also connect it from this page to enable uploading into specific albums.

Imgur was pretty fast to begin with, but this distills the process to a simple right click or drag and drop, without ever having to visit imgur's site. It's fast enough that it will probably replace Bloodrop as my quick image link generator of choice.

Sip Grabs Color Codes From Anywhere, Instantly

OS X: If you see a color on the web or in an app that you particularly like and want to save for later, Sip makes it incredibly fast and easy to store it for later use.

Sip lives in your menu bar, but you can invoke it at any time with a customizable keyboard shortcut. Activate the app, and you'll get a magnifying glass to zoom in on any pixel on you screen. Click on the one you like, and its color code will copy to your clipboard to use in the image editor of your choice. You can choose your preferred color code format (CSS Hex values, CMYK, RGB, etc.) in the app's settings, and switch between your favorites quickly in the menu bar dropdown. If you're looking for something similar on Windows, Instant Eyedropper is an oldie but goodie.
