Tonido allows you to remotely access your files using only a web browser. It makes it possible to share and access your files from portable devices, regardless of your current physical location, and all you need to do is remember a simple link. It is basically a cloud storage service that stands out from the crowd thanks to its versatility and effectiveness.

The Tonido desktop client is convenient and unobtrusive as it makes its presence felt only by adding a shortcut to the tray area. All the features and functions can be accessed and operated from within your default web browser. When it comes to options and features, Tonido leaves no room for complaint. It allows you to easily access share and organize your files. I personally like a lot the fact that it allows the users to easily edit the share permissions, putting them in complete control over who has access to their files. Furthermore, the comprehensive file synchronization capabilities are another praiseworthy feature of this utility. Anyway, when it comes to file synchronization, Tonido doesn't yet look able to threaten the leading positions of acknowledged services like DropBox and Google Drive. It’s on the right path, as it offers much cheaper file synchronization options at the moment even than the popular aforementioned services. However, the main function of Tonido is to allow remote file access, and this is what it does best.

I’d also like to mention the fact that it includes a neat music player and handy photo viewing capabilities. The upgraded, commercial versions of this service even allow mounting the remote computer folders as a local drive.

To sum it all up, Tonido is worth taking a closer look at, especially if you are an active person that needs to access his/her files from many locations. It’s one of the most powerful and feature-rich applications of its kind.
