14 DAY TRIAL // Based in Pasadena, California, X1 Technologies, Inc. has come up with this intuitive iOS app that lets you browse the contents of your desktop computer and grab virtually any file to display, edit and or share with your iPhone, or iPad.
“Make your mobile device an extension of your PC or Mac, and leave the laptop behind,” says X1 Technologies.
“Using your iPhone or iPad, the X1 Mobile Search app securely connects with your computer to quickly find current and archived email, attachments, and documents. X1 helps you stay productive -- even on the go,” the developer adds.
Working the tool couldn’t be simpler. Just download the iOS and Mac / PC apps, install them, pair them, and you’re good to go!
When you’re out (with your computer running at home or at work), simply fire up X1, select your computer in its interface, and use the main search field above to locate a certain file, open it, save it (as Favorite), or forward it to a different party.
It’s quite possibly the easiest and most intuitive solution of its kind. And, best of all, it’s free!
Not only does it let you access your PC’s files remotely and easily search terabytes of data, you also get access to all your email, including Microsoft Outlook PST archives.
It has fast, as-you-type instant search, meaning you don’t actually have to tap ‘search’ for it to start listing results. Results are returned as quickly as you type them.
You can search email from, to, and subject as well as the entire message contents, and it supports Microsoft Outlook, Lotus Notes, and Mozilla Thunderbird. X1 also lets you search inside ZIP archives, Microsoft Office documents, and PDFs.
You can view, share, an even edit the documents that your iPhone / iPad understands. All you need is the necessary third-party apps that are compatible with the file formats. For example, X1 itself supports PDFs.
You can store documents for review while offline and disconnected, and connections are protected by x.509 PKI based two-factor authentication and RSA powered SSL/TLS, according to X1 Technologies, Inc.
