Opera Unite is a boon for novice internet users
If you want a simple way of sharing your photos or files with friends, Opera Unite is perfect for you.
You just need to install the appropriate version Opera Browser. And login with an Opera account.
And you can start sharing your files and photos right from your computer. It requires absolutely no expertise or manual configuring.
Opera gives you decent control over your data. You can password protect it. As soon as the browser is closed, the sharing ends.
I tried several features provided by Opera Unite. They work fine. Photo sharing, file sharing, and chat! It’s pretty awesome.
The only thing that I think can be simpler is Google Wave… Cannot wait for it!
By the way, this particular build of Opera 10 is awesomely fast. And it has fixes for a nasty bug that has been bothering me for a while.
The funny thing is that if Microsoft was to offer similar functionality, it would be limited to the Professional edition of the Operating System. And it would be 10 times more complex. And it would not work on non Internet Explorer web browsers. And it would still have 100s of vulnerabilities which would require patches every now and then.
