[Resend] how to use the network hard drive "Gbao disk"

Posted from Felix's blog: http://www.felixwoo.com/article.asp? Id = 111

With the increasing demand for storage space and the reduction of storage costs, more and more network service providers, headed by Google, provide larger email and mobile storage services. Looking back at the history of the development of computer storage, from the beginning of the punched paper to the later disk and the flash memory, mobile storage only changed the media, but the concept and mode were the same, that is, the isolated storage of each individual. Nowadays, with the popularization of the Internet and the improvement of network speedRevolutionaryThe new storage mode-network mobile storage. China's leading mobile network storage service providers in this regard include QQ, www.1g.cn, and www.vdisk.cn. My friend digitalghost is also responsible for the development of network mobile storage in a company, that is, the Gbao disk www.gbaopan.com that I want to introduce today.

Gbao uses the latest. NET technology development. To meet the full-text search requirements, the database uses sqlserver2005, which has not yet been officially released. The main features of Gbao include file management, partner sharing, full-text search, Web snapshots, and mobile WAP support. The dual-host backup technology developed by digitalghost ensures data security and reliability. The following is a brief introduction to my experience.

I. Functions
Features have been mentioned earlier, including file management, partner sharing, full-text search, Web snapshots, and mobile WAP support.
As the core of network mobile storage, data is uploaded and downloaded. In terms of file management, Gbao uses the Upload Component provided by. Net and the IE Method for download, which is convenient and convenient. However, the function is relatively weak. For example, the speed limit cannot be set for users of different levels, and the upload and download speed cannot be displayed. In this way, the server load is uncontrollable when the number of concurrent online users increases. In addition, Gbao disks use pure web operations to facilitate deployment, but it is not convenient from the perspective of users. If you can use a combination of Web and client, or virtualize the Gbao disk as a local hard disk like Gmail drive, it is more convenient to operate.
As the name suggests, Gbao shares its partners with others, shares their photos with friends,ArticleAnd good mood. You can also send a file to your friends by email. However, Gbao disks can only be shared to one or all registered users and cannot be shared to non-registered users. Password-based pickup is a good solution. A registered user generates a unique password for the file or folder to be shared, and sends the password to a friend. A friend can use the password to access the shared file and cannot register for login.
The full-text search of the Gbao disk is quite good. It can not only search the content in TXT text, but also search for the content in word, PDF, and image. The search speed is very fast.
The Web snapshot function can download a web page to the Gbao disk. However, I personally feel that this function is not very necessary. It is better to change it to a favorites folder like Sina Vivi.
Due to limited conditions, I did not test the mobile phone WAP access. However, according to digitalghost, the chance of the Gbao disk competitor to provide comprehensive support remains to be seen.

Ii. Operations
Let's talk about my operation experience. To be honest, this is what I think Gbao should be most adjusted. After logging in, there will be a lot of buttons and hyperlinks in front of me. It takes a long time for me to figure out how to operate. It should be more foolish and simpler. Some button text descriptions are also confusing. For example, when you move the cursor to the publish file button, the message "not shared" is displayed ", I think changing to "share this file" may give users a better understanding, because the button should indicate the function of the button rather than the status.

Iii. Interface
Finally, let's take a look at the Gbao disk interface. The Gbao disk's interface design is mainly blue-gray with bright colors. However, the overall design is conservative.
Conservative one is: it is not concise enough. The background color of a button or panel is too much to use. A large number of continuous colors will give people a dazzling feeling and bring visual fatigue. The combination of gradient color and pure color is better.
Conservative 2: some important functions or important information prompts do not use eye-catching exaggerated colors to show, the uniform use of blue-gray tones although refreshing but also relatively dull.
Conservative third: some buttons are too small to be easily clicked. The design should be people-oriented and easy to use. It is not only fashionable but also convenient to increase the size of some important buttons.
In terms of the interface, I think www.1g.cn does a good job. You can learn from it.

Since digitalghost asked me to write the evaluation report, I won't talk much about it, but I mainly talk about some areas that I think should be improved. Of course, my idea is purely from the user's point of view. It depends on digitalghost if it cannot be implemented technically. Gbao is still in the beta1 stage. I wish it will become stronger and better! [Last modified by Felix at 11:36:58]Comment feed:Http://www.felixwoo.com/feed.asp? Q = Comment & id = 111
