PortableApps.com Companion

Submitted by ASJ on December 22, 2011 - 4:50pm

Hello Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone has received the PortableApps.com Companion flash drive yet. If so, can you tell me if this item is worth the wait? I ordered the 16 GB drive on Dec. 10 and haven't received it yet. I guess it will be worth the wait if it is as nice as the original write ups by John.

Sync Portable Apps.

Submitted by Flametail on December 22, 2011 - 3:59pm

Hi!

I was looking for a way to sync my entire portableapps drive with a central server.

So I could play around on 1 drive, sync any new/changed files and settings up to the server, and sync it down to my second drive when I want to use it. Works good for backups too.

So, any portable way to do this? With a windows server to hold the backup/sync data?

Pretty much what I want to do is something like the Dropbox portable that doesnt exist, but rather than full auto, it syncs when I click the button.

Hello,

I am looking for a "notepad" style portable app which includes "auto save every x minutes" and "backup" features. I downloaded all the apps I could find like akelpad, notetap2, notetap++, but it seems that I cannot find any app which includes both the features.

Am I missing anything? Smile

I was using my portable hard drive one minute and then the next it doesn't even register. It's also making a constant noise like it's trying to boot up but it just doesn't. When I do the safely remove it's registered on the computer but not as the name that I created for it. What can I do?

@New Apps

It says here: "New apps every day is on a brief hiatus while we finish up the PortableApps.com Platform 'Next' release. We'll be releasing lots more new apps once it's done!" But the platform is already done, but it says here, https://portableapps.com/news/2011-12-08_-_portableapps.com_platform_10.... that he's going to start new apps again.

One week has passed, but no new apps. Could it be that no further new apps will be released after InstantBird?

Submitting new topics on the Forums - Little problem.

Submitted by michele.bartole... on December 13, 2011 - 11:05am

Hi,

when someone decides to submit a new topic on the Forum, he could encounter a little annoying situation. He starts writing the body of his question/topic, and halfway he decides to open the "More information about formatting options" link, to see how he could emphasize a word, or add a smiley. The page replaces the previous one, and when he found the info looked for and goes back through the browser...

all the text of the topic has disappeared.

Shock

Had someone already noticed that?
