There was a time when cloud storage was more or less just that. A digital locker for those files you need on the go. As more and more apps and services fold this functionality into their general operation, the cloud part needs to be increasingly transparent. Something Google is tackling with the latest change to its Drive service. Starting today, you will be able to connect Drive-enabled apps to the main interface. So, next time you want to create something with Pixlr Editor, or Ujam, or want to open a file in such an app, you can do that right from the comfort of your Google account page. Not only does this mean that your favorite Chrome tools can be brought right into your workflow, Google clearly hopes it might inspire more developers to “elevate” their apps with the same functionality. Apps already sporting the integration, however, should be available to connect immediately.

Given that we have our smartphones on us pretty much all day, it is unsurprising that there have been apps created which mimic virtual pets like Tamagotchi back in the day, although at the same time I can’t help but feel that perhaps they are lacking a certain something. Now if you have grown up with a Tamagotchi as a kid, you might be interested to learn that the official Tamagotchi app will be making its way onto iOS and Android in the future! When exactly we don’t know, but hopefully sometime in the near future.
