Many are using USB Flash Drives, just to store mp3 songs, PDF files and other backup files. But it can be used for many official purposes – some of them are cost effective for your business too.

Portable application Suite – Imagine, if you can use your browsers, office applications, media players, IMs, and email clients from an USB drive. The advantages are – you can carry them with you anywhere – not only the applications, but the bookmarks, settings and personalized configurations. You can work in your favorite applications from anywhere – even from the browsing center computer – no need to check for any software there – all you have it in your USB.!! Yes – the free Portable application suite from portableapps.com makes this possible. Just install your required applications in USB and take it anywhere – plug-in to any windows PC – and start working..! Wonderful, Isn’t it..!!

Secure PC/Laptop – Use your USB drive as a Hardware security key for your Personal computer or Laptops. There are many tools available but “Predator” performs well here – While working on Windows PC/Laptop, just plug-in your USB Drive – ‘Predator’ auto-starts – You can continue your work. When you are away from your PC/Laptop – just remove the USB drive, the Keyboard and mouse will be disabled and the screen will become dark. To bring it back to life – just plug-in USB drive again. No one can access your PC/Laptop when you are away from your place – because all the input and output devices are disabled. PREDATOR disables the Windows task manager when you unplug the USB drive. Nobody can stop it with Ctrl-Alt-Del. Also this tool frequently changes the security codes recorded on your USB drive. If an intruder manages to copy your stick, this copy will not work because the codes on your own stick will have changed in the meantime.

Use your USB drive more intelligent ways and save the cost - Personally and Professionally.
