Cloudboard – A cloud based, shared, Live FX based, clipboard (with source ;)

CodePlex - Wintellect Cloudboard

Project Description
Wintellect Cloudboard creates a clipboard that you can share across your machines and with other people.

Cloudboard is a desktop WPF application that leverages Microsoft's Live Framework for storage and synchronization and is developed in C#.

Ever had to rely on thumb-drives or shared folders just so you could copy and paste things between machines? Do you ever wish that you could store more than just ONE thing in the system clipboard? Wouldn't it be nice to be able to see what you have in the clipboard rather than blindly pasting and having to undo?

Cloudboard is an easy-to-use, automatically-synchronized clipboard that does all of these things (and more!) by leveraging Microsoft's Live Mesh technology.

I have a number of different “sharing” methods to move small data bits between the different systems I use, but none of them are as cool as this. :)

I’ve really not seen many Live FX based projects (any?), yet this is a great usage of that technology.

If you’re interested in Live FX, XAML/WPF, C# or any number of Windows API calls, check out the source of the project (also if you’re looking for a Project to work on, they are looking for some adventurous, cutting edge souls to join in on the project :)

(via Andy Hopper's Blog - Cloudboard v1.0 has been released!)
