RPCS.info highly recommends Dropbox. It will seamlessly synchronise files between multiple computers or better yet, automatically keep an up to date backup of important files for you.

You can sign up to dropbox by visiting this link. It will them ask you to download and install the software and link the computer to the account. Once this is done, follow the on screen instructions and viola, it’s done!

But one thing Dropbox seems to miss is adding the Dropbox to the right click sendto context menu. How useful would it be to right click on a file and send it straight to dropbox?

We at RPCS figured out a way of doing just that.

1. Open Windows Explorer (NOT IE)

2. Select the following text and copy it to the clipboard by pressing Ctrl-C.

%APPDATA%/Microsoft/Windows/SendTo

3. In Explorer click in an empty area inside the address bar. Doing so should highlight everything in there turning it blue.

4. Press Ctrl-V to paste in that previously copied text, then press Enter. Now you should be looking at the folder containing Windows send-to shortcuts.

5. Now you need to find the Windows shortcut to Dropbox. This may require opening another Explorer window or having the shortcut on your desktop. Right click it and choose Copy.

6. Back in the original Explorer window the one displaying SendTo, right-click an open area and choose Paste. Viola, your shortcut appears. Close the window and you’re done.

Now when you right-click any file or folder and mouse over Send to, you should see Dropbox among the options. Click to send the document to Dropbox. It’s that easy.

Our automated hosting and domain sales control panels and scripts are continuing to be tested and improved to give you the best and easiest service possible. Testing is now coming to an end and we envisage that this feature will be fully live on RPCS.info within the next couple of months. There are still some bugs to work out and services, features and upgrades to add.

If you are interested in helping with these current beta tests please contact us so that we can discuss the requirements and the benefits to you.

 

We are currently working at providing a completely automated sales and setup process for all domain names and hosting accounts which will include setup in real time.

We are currently reviewing the payment gateways and can confirm that both Paypal and Google Checkout will be accepted. We know how important online security is and have been in the same boat as everyone else, with these gateways the risks are minimal.

Until the system is set up and running properly please continue to contact us for your hosting and domain name requirements. If you wish to partake in the Beta test programme please contact us and we can direct you to our temporary website (note, you will still be required to purchase hosting and/or a domain name however at a slightly reduced price).

Thanks again,
RPCS

After a lot of hard work and dedication, and then scrapping the whole idea because we didn’t like it in the end we have now come up with a brand new design, new features, new shorter URL and what we would hope to think is the start of a new, faster, user friendly, social network integrated, all singing and dancing website.

We were going to follow the age old rule of Keep It Simple Stupid but then it dawned on us, we are a web design company with the technology which can support the very best in web site integration. We should practice what we preach and show our current and future clients exactly what is capable and what our talented staff can do without being pushed (seriously, push us, we can do more!)

We hope you can navigate around the website easily and find what you are after. If you do struggle to find the page which covers the service or product that you require we have also included a neat little search feature in the top right of every page. But, if the unexpected happens and you still cannot find what you are looking for please do not hesitate to call us and we will help you out the old fashioned way.

Finally, thank you for visiting our new site. It is appreciated. If you like it please also like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, share us with friends, family and even your worst enemies (show off the fact you have used the best, make them green with envy!). There will be exclusive deals only promoted through social networks so if you want to be up on the latest and greatest deals it does pay to like us, follow us or stalk us however you can, we promise not to go overboard with updates and clog up your streams.

Thank You
Rich
