\"\"I am continuing to get the iPad more integrated into my production routine, and finding it pretty useful at many things. The iPad lacks a file system as many will point out, and that does present a challenge for building a fully productive environment. I am getting around that shortcoming using a tool I recently implemented <\/a>for file-sharing among multiple computers. SugarSync is a cloud service that keeps folders on computers in sync, while providing a cloud backup of the files. There is an iPad app for SugarSync<\/a> that works well with the service, and I am using it to access my files from the iPad.<\/p>\n

Once the SugarSync app is installed, a simple login is all that is required to get access to every file I have in sync with the service. This is all of my documents, photos, movies and music that I use on both the Mac and Windows PC. Most of the documents are Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Adobe\u00a0PDFs, all of which I can use on the iPad.<\/p>\n

I have over 20 GB of files on SugarSync and I don’t want them on the iPad with the limited memory. I don’t even want a few of them, I prefer to just grab a file as needed. I open the SugarSync app on the iPad and search for the file I want. Tapping it gives the option to view it or email it. If I only need to refer to something in the file I simply view it. The viewer handles DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, PPT and PDF formats\u00a0with ease and displays them nicely. It probably handles other formats, but these are the ones I have tried.<\/p>\n
