Olipo in a few words

Olipo is a mobile engine which, embedded on your USB drive, enable you to gather the files you host on web services like Picasa, YouTube or Box.net onto your USB drive.

Olipo is also a little company based in Labège near Toulouse in the south of France. Olipo develops the mobile engine and a set of more or less useful plugins for this engine.

On Olipo website, you can try for example the following plugins:
- Box.net: your USB drive will be your Box account mirror. You'll be able to do everything you want on your files and the actions will be replicated to your Box account (very useful to have an online backup with no pain at all);
- Picasa: you'll get your photos on your USB drive and when you'll drop a new photo to your USB drive, it will be automatically uploaded to your Picasa album;
- Flickr: the same, but for Flickr;
- Facebook: the same, but for Facebook;
- YouTube: you'll get a folder on your USB drive useful to automatically upload your videos to YouTube, just drop your files into it;
- Computer Synch: useful to make a folder of your USB drive mirror of a folder of your computer. When you'll plug your USB drive to your computer, the files will be synchronized between your computer and it (copied, moved, created, deleted, etc.). This plugin handles very cleverly the conflicts;
- PHP Gateway: you have a PHP website somewhere? Upload the olipo.php gateway to it and your USB drive will be a mirror of your online space (you don't need anymore any FTP tricks)
- and more...
