Choosing some of the best Free Software Add ons for your business

In a previous article, Shellys bookkeeping reviewed some of the free bookkeeping software apps that are available.
In this article we highlight some of the best free software add-ons that we use, to help run and manage a business.

  • Cloud storage:

    Have your files available wherever you are. No more lost information when your computer crashes. Dropbox and Drive both have free cloud storage and if you need more space, then simply sign up for the paid version. There are multiple other cloud storage providers. You can setup a Dropbox or Drive folder locally that synchronizes with your online storage. Need to share a large document with a colleague or client - simply share the file with them so they can download it. No more bounced emails when the file is too large.
