• Backup. If you lose your computer, grab a new one and reinstall Platypus. Your files will be on your new machine in minutes.
• Sync. Keep all your machines synchronized, even if they run different operating systems.
• VPN-less access. Not at a Google computer? View your files on the web at http://troutboard.com/p.
• Collaborate. Create shared spaces to which multiple Googlers can write.
• Disconnected access. On the plane? VPN broken? All your files are still accessible.
• Publish. All of the files you store on Platypus are automatically accessible from the (corporate) web.
• Share. Other Googlers can mount your Platypus folders and open your files in read-only mode.
• Local IO speeds. Open and save as quickly as you could if you were accessing them from your C: drive.
