1.Dropbox
Ever needed a document on your home computer while at uni? Ever wished you could access assignments stored on your laptop through your phone? You can with Dropbox!
Dropbox is a free service that allows you access to all your photos, assignments and videos from a number of places. The beauty of Dropbox is that any file you save on one device instantly saves to the Dropbox website as well as your phone, tablet, computer, laptop…you get the idea.
With 2GB of free storage (up to 100GB available for a subscription price), you’ll be able to take notes in your lecture with your laptop and access them anytime from the Dropbox website. You can even share documents with your friends and family. And, the best thing is, Dropbox is compatible with Windows, Mac, Linus, iPad, iPhone, Android and BlackBerry.

2. Mindmeister
Do you think in pictures rather than words? Do you find it easier to brainstorm your ideas and put them into a mind map before you start writing an assignment? We sometimes do, too.
Mindmeister is one tool that will help you stengthen your ideas before you start work on your BSB126 Marketing Plan, your KKB102 case study, your critique… basically whatever it is that you’re working on. You can create and edit your mind maps and synchronise them with the online service. Doing a group assignment? Share your mind maps through your device or export and email them in RTF, PDF and PNG formats. Mindmeister is available for download for iPhone, iPod, iPad and Android.
