Getting Started with Joyent Connector
The Joyent Connector online productivity and collaboration application suite is an excellent complement to Corel®® WordPerfect® Lightning™.
Connector is Web—based software, so there is nothing for you to install on your computer. You simply access it like any other Website, which means you will always have the latest version. WordPerfect Lightning lets you upload your notebook from the Navigator to Connector, where you can share up to 200 MB of notes and documents with other online users. The Connector suite consists of a number of online applications:
- Mail
— All Connector users are assigned an e-mail address. Mail includes Spam protection and lets you attach files directly from your computer or existing files you have previously uploaded to Connector.
- Calendar
— Great for collaborating with others, Calendar helps you keep track of events of all kinds. You can even import calendars from any program that supports the standard iCalendar format (.ics).
- People
— This contact management application ensures that your personal and business contacts are accessible to you from almost anywhere.
- Files
— This online storage application lets you back up and share documents, images, and other kinds of files. You can upload up to five files at one time.
- Bookmarks
— This application lets you store Web addresses that you use frequently, so you can easily access them from any Internet-connected computer. Moreover, bookmarking Web pages in Joyent Connector allows you to make bookmarks part of your workflow and collaboration.
- Lists
— This flexible list and outline maker helps you organize your thoughts, tasks, a big project — whatever you want.
These applications are placed within a unified, consistent user interface. Each of the applications has the same controls and overall features, so if you learn one, and you'll soon be using them all.
You can access your information from any Internet-connected Web browser, anywhere, anytime. Yet because your data resides on Joyent's own cutting-edge infrastructure, you can also be assured that it is safe and secure.
