Best Free Online Tool of the Month - Free Article Submission
Ezinearticles.com has a free membership where all new members can submit 10 articles to prove the quality of your articles. After your first 10 article submissions meet the posted editorial guidelines, you can be upgraded to Platinum level. This allows unlimited article submissions and priority approval speed in getting your articles posted on their high-traffic website. Every article that you submit is reviewed by a person on their in-house editorial team.
PubArticles.com is a free article submission service which allows you to submit your free high quality articles instantly! Once you submit an article to PubArticles.com, you would have literally thousands of readers worldwide as your article is published around the globe. Also, you can discuss with anyone who has the same interests as you!
Best Free Online Tool of the Month - Dropbox.com
The best free online tool is Dropbox.com. You can drop your files into the dropbox folder on your desktop and they get uploaded to your online storage space at Dropbox.com. Then you can open your laptop at the cafe and get access to the latest versions of your files by accessing them at your account at Dropbox.com.
You can back up your database files using the Backup Migrate module and by adding a patch, you can also store them at Dropbox.com for other team members to access. See http://tombigel.com/2010/09/19/dropbox_support_drupal_backup/
Best Free Tool of the Month - SendSpace.com
SendSpace.com is the best free online tool that I have used this month. You can create an account for free. And then upload your large compressed files that you need to send to friends and colleagues. I've used this tool several times this month to send large zip files containing all the site files, images and a copy of the database. You upload the file to the site to the specified folder, enter the recipient's email address and volia! It sends them an email notifying them that they can click on this link and download their file.
