Dropbox just not doing the trick on your design work load? Perhaps Adobe may help. The corporate has announced Creative Cloud, a “hub for viewing, sharing and syncing of files created by Adobe Touch Apps and Adobe Creative Suite.” Included with the service is 20GB of cloud storage , a good way to probably get you thru that website design project you have been eliminating. After the primary of the year, Adobe expects its cloud to incorporate access to applications software (apps too), digital publishing / business services and an international creative community for inspiration and feedback. Also unveiled were Touch Apps, a collection of six applications designed to make your tablet a design machine — in case you are right down to work on that small of a screen, in fact. You will have to wait until November to determine just how much the Creative Cloud will set you back, but meanwhile look at the whole PR for more details.
