Portable Folders and Files - in real time
Where is the magic in Harry Potter? There must be magic to make this series such a giant success. Isn’t it just that: magic? Don’t we all want to believe, just a little, in magic; that the world is good and magical?
The same is true of technology. Don’t we all want technology to serve our needs in a good, familiar and friendly manner? This doesn't have to be a tail of magic, but rather, a good PI.
Too often users are made to feel like they are serving technology, forced into technology, forced into someone else’s box. This happens far too often and in too many ways.
Online files are no exception, apart from just one exception – Portable Interface (PI) technology and your portable desktop.
- “Right click” over the background or in the PI explorer’s file pane.
- Select the “New” menu.
- Click on “Folder”.
That's it, you're done.
Interactively drag this Folder (or any other file) and drop it into another folder. Just like on your personal computer, only this real-time file system is portable and available to you from any capable browser connected to the Internet.

Right on!
This how it should be in my hotmail account!
Will gogui be offering email any time soon. There should be a notify me button
How wonderful!
I appreciate anything that makes my life easier.
Thank you!
Usability first, last and inbetween :). Easier for the user should be the bottom line.
For years I witnessed teachers shying away from technology. I found this to be such a tragedy - technology should empower individuals and groups, but was often found to be a burden.
Maria, I am sure that email is coming soon. It may be a standalone account such as hotmail, or a proxy type where you can organize all of your online accounts with this same "user friendly" and efficient portable desktop. Yes drag and drop your emails into any folder you like - instantly in real time, while viewing mutliple emails within the same browser.
Stay tuned for exciting announcements every month.
How about offering both, a standalone email account and the opportunity to link to other pop accounts?
This online file system is fast and user friendly - I will be happy to make this my primary email account when it is available.
