Docstoc OneClick : Easiest way to upload and share documents online

Docstoc has recently launched a little utility which helps the users to upload the documents to their docstoc account in a single click. This utility known as "OneClick" can be downloaded and installed on the computer. Three new entries are added to your context menu using which you can upload any document on you computer.



In case you do not want to make your documents available to general public, you can choose to upload the documents as private by selecting the "email as private" option in the context menu. Using "email as public" will make the document appear in the site search results too.

One can select multiple documents to upload them all at once. The total size of selected documents can reach up to 50 Mb. All the document titles would be automatically generated as the upload happens. The uploaded documents will be available under the My Documents folder on the site.

The third option can be used for a normal upload, which lets you edit the document titles and tags for all the selected documents before uploading. You can also mark each document as either private or public through this interface.

One of the ubercool features of this tool is that as soon as your documents are uploaded, it opens up your default email client and prepares the body of the text with the links to the documents you just uploaded. You can then send this email instantly to any of your friends or associates. This would ease out the issues with sending huge email attachments and getting the mailboxes jammed. This utility is also being dubbed as the "Email Attachment Killer" for the same reason. The best part is that you can view the documents on site itself, there is no need to download the document just to view it. You can however download it too, in case you need it offline.

For more information on this feature you can visit docstoc one click.

docstoc logo
Have you heard about the new document sharing portal docstoc.com ? Its really good. As the name suggests its an online document repository with millions of professional documents submitted by the users of the site. You can look for any kind document here, legal documents, application forms, presentation templates, sample reports, case studies, user manuals, guides absolutely anything at all. The best part is, if you don't find the doc you were looking for.. just place a request, as soon as someone uploads a document matching your request criteria, you will be notified in an email.

If you are a student and you want to share all the notes and research papers you have complied, with your friends, this is the place you can do it .. all hassle free. The advantage here is that you can actually preview the whole document before actually downloading it, thanks to this new flash paper innovation.

It looks like a good place to hang around for a while and check out documents.. ( i look out for movie scripts.. being a movie buff and fiction e-books..). Try it out..
