Adobe Share is another Flash Powered document sharing service from Adobe. First Question that came to my mind when I saw this was , Oh my god..another file document managing system. Currently I’m using Google Docs and I like it. Since Google services are integrated with one another I could have no choice rather than showing love to Google Docs. Because, any Microsoft format documents by default opens up with Google Docs interface. But Flash powered Adobe Share has it’s cool and smooth looking UI. A clean UI that I could say.

Also they give embed script which creates Flash preview.Adobe Share API are available public to develop mashups. From the Adobe Blogs, they claim that Adoube Share is built using the REST technique. First it allows you to upload the docs from your computer to Adobe Share. Also share the document with the person whom you want. You can also just limit the access of the docs!! Once the document is uploaded you will get the icon of the document format. The cool thing I like about Adobe Share it, it could recognize “docx” format too. Google Docs is not so brilliant enough to recognize docx.

Once you are done with it, your file is read for preview and share. But to my dismay, the Preview was not created.

Since still the product is in Beta ( I guess it’s in Alpha ), they have not enabled the preview of the document. Guess future Adobe Share and Adobe Buzzword will collaborate. As of now I guess there is 1 GB of space allocated for each ID.

And the most important thing is, 1 GB of online file store is available
