Sending large files via e-mail is not always possible. Most of the time, we have to resort to third-party tools like WeTransfer or SendThisFile or something similar, where we have to upload our files to the service provider and the recipient has to download it from there. These come with annoying limitations such as file size limits, speed limits or requirements for registration and if you exceed the limits, you may even have to pay for them.

ToffeeShare.com is a peer to peer file transfer solution. With ToffeeShare, nothing is stored online on an external server. You just send your files from your computer or mobile phone directly to the recipient. There are no file size limits or speed limits. If you are on the same network, your data does not even leave the premises. There is no account  creation and sharing of your email address either. It just affords a direct and safe connection which is end-to-end encrypted and private.

Using it is very easy. Just logon to ToffeeShare.com and select the files you want to send. You will be given a link which you share with the recipient. The minute the recipient clicks on that link, the file transfer starts – directly from your device to his. It is lightning fast and just so easy! The only thing you have to remember, is that both the devices have to be online during the transfer process.

They also have an Android app and a Windows desktop app which you can download from the Microsoft store, for ease of use.

A very useful tool for safe, fast, encrypted file transfers.

Limit is a Chrome Extension which limits your access to your most favourite but distracting sites. The best part is that you can set your own limits for any of the sites you visit.

For example, if you find yourself on Facebook or Twitter more often than what is desired, you can set time limits for yourself. Once you set the time limit, as you approach your daily limit, the extension will notify you that your time is almost up and when you reach the time limit, it will not allow you to access that site for the rest of the day. This gives you the self-discipline of restricting your time on Social Media and spending more time at work!

You can define daily time-limits for any site you desire. Starting with pre-defined sites like Amazon, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, you can add more sites as per your requirements and Limit will do the work for you efficiently. Your time limit is configurable from 5 to 500 minutes per day.

So, get a bit of discipline in your working day – start using Limit today!

Android allows users to install a variety of Launchers and File Managers. One of the better ones is Solid Explorer which is a Solid File Manager, which has many more options than the Android Stock File Manager.

It has a wonderful, user-friendly design which is intuitive and a pleasure to use. You can secure folders with AES encryption which makes it very safe to use. Besides, it has a Trash Bin from where you could recover your accidentally deleted files immediately.

You could use it for copying, moving, sorting, encrypting and archiving all the files on your phone. Sorting based on File Type, Size, Modification Date and File Names is all built-in. There is a storage analyser that allows you to quickly identify files and folders which take the maximum space on your mobile.

The app supports major cloud storage services like Google Drive, OneDrive and also protocols such as FTP, SFTP, etc. and lets you stream media to cast-enabled devices.

Solid Explorer is free to download and use with ads. You can also use in-app purchases to remove ads for a smoother experience.

Android allows us to set the default screen time-out upto 10 minutes. This means that whenever your phone is idle, the screen will automatically time-out between 15 seconds to 10 minutes of inactivity. There are many situations when we may not want the screen to time-out automatically in 10 minutes, e.g. if you are making a speech (and using the phone for cues) or a presentation. Native android does not give you any option for that.

This is where Screen Alive comes in handy. It allows you to keep the screen alive for extended periods of time, without any automatic time-outs. It is a very simple, free app. Just download it and set the time for which you want the screen to be alive and you are done!

Beware though, that if you keep the screen alive for long periods of time, it could drain your battery very quickly, especially if you have a large, hi-def screen. So do use it with caution and only when needed.
