I need a large drive for mobile pc

Submitted by Dancameron46 on March 26, 2016 - 10:30pm

I can't afford a pc and use my parents pc and library I have a kindle but it's really old .my phone is a flip phone . I'm using a 32 but can't fit everything in one place essentially when I make music to upload to soundcload on the tablet. I want at least a 128 because I also game and do just about everything it offers as well as wanna store data. So I guess what im asking is what should I get for brand name and size

Hi:
A question about update behavior that I didn't see answered elsewhere but perhaps I missed it. If so, sorry.

Until recently my PortableApps would update when I started the platform by having the updated apps listed in an update window and when I clicked on update the would update in sequence until done.

Adding Other Apps (XMind) to the PortableApps.com Menu

Submitted by philled on March 24, 2016 - 2:03am

I read the instructions at https://portableapps.com/support/platform#addingotherapps so I could install XMind in my PortableApps menu. According to http://www.xmind.net/download/portable/ there is a portable version which I am already using and it works outside of my PortableApps installation. But I'd like it to work as a PortableApps app so that I've got everything in one place on my PortableApps menu.

"7-Zip Portable cannot be run from inside C:\Program Files"

Submitted by wallywalters on March 22, 2016 - 9:48pm

I was actually aware of the prohibition against putting (the Haller brand of) portable apps into the official "Program Files" folders when I unwrapped 7-Zip. Still wanting to retain something resembling the native Windows naming scheme, I created a root-level folder called "Program Files (portable)" and put my portable apps into that. Come to discover, however, that the prohibition extends even to this new folder, simply because it merely contains the name "Portable Files."
