Introduction

Imagine being able to access the files and folders on your PC from a mobile device. For most of us, this would massively change the way in which we work. Instead of waiting until you’re near a PC to be able to preview and proof read reports  for tomorrow’s meeting, you’re now suddenly able to do it whilst travelling about, therefore making full use of your available time.

Dream-not though, this is now reality. NetPortal, an app available to iPhone users boasts to be able to do just this and many more tasks. Furthermore, costing just £2.99 (or $4.99 to our American friends) on the fruit-shop’s store, Stratospherix’s app sounds too good to be true. Let’s find out if it is…
