Managing iphone files the easy way

I have several computers I use, both PCs and Macs. When it comes to the iPhone, this can be a problem since iPhone only syncs to one source. I need the ability put stuff on the iphone whenever I want.

First I tried dragging and dropping files into the iTunes UI directly. It doesn't work. So yesterday, I plowed my way through some third-party iphone file management utililties.

I visited digg and some other aggregators to find the "best" method to transfer files without formatting the phone. I tried MediaMonkey but it didn't work despite following a long and rigorous how-to.

Tried a new iPhone app called Dropbox which is purported to be all the rage for adding storage GB to your iPhone. It would not work for me but I'll probably check it out again later.

Next in line was Cucucsoft iPhone import. Didn't do what I needed.

Finally, after many travails, I arrived upon a product that is:
  • responsive
  • informative
  • helpful
  • easy
  • and not least of all
  • free!
SharePod.

Download. Use. Rejoice!

Thanks to the SharePod team. You have given me closure.

Now back to your regularly scheduled day.
