Simidude

Drag and Drop ANYTHING Between Different Computers

Simidude
Technical

So, you’re sitting at home working on your computer, and you need to transfer a file, web address, or even just a snippet of text to one of your other computers on the network. What do you do? You could try sending it over the network, and hope that your sharing and permissions settings are set up correctly. You could email it to yourself, logging into your email on one machine, logging out, and then logging into the destination machine. Or you could break out your flash drive and sneaker-net the stuff over to the other machine. Thrilling options, aren’t they?

What if I told you that you could just copy it to your clipboard on one machine, then paste it from the clipboard on the other machine? Or, better yet, just drag and drop items between two completely different machines? Sounds awesome, yet implausible, right?

Simidude delivers exactly this functionality. Once you install Simidude, you’ll be able to drag and drop files, folders, text, and HTML addresses between any of your computers, no matter if they’re running Linux, Windows, or MacOS!

Simidude synchronizes your clipboards so items that you copy to one clipboard are instantly available on every other clipboard on the network. You can even use Simidude to drag files to and from Virtual Machine servers! Items can be dragged out of the Simidude window directly into applications to launch them. One of the most common situations involving machine-to-machine file transfers is with digital photos, and you'll be pleased to see that Simidude offers you a handy thumbnail image of every image file that you drag into it!

Simidude even maintains a running memory of the items that you’ve copied to the clipboard, making it easy to manage clipped items. For instance, if you’ve copied an item to the clipboard before, you don’t have to do it again – just find it in your Simidude list and activate it. Plus, you can perform full-text searches through your clipboard items!

Oh, but there's one more thing -- Simidude is incredibly easy to use! It connects automatically to all running instances without the need to setup network connections, server ip addresses and the like.

Who Needs Simidude?
You do if you've ever:

  • Needed to transfer a file from one computer to another on your network, but didn't have your network share permissions configured correctly.
  • Had to transfer files to other computers manually, using a flash drive or GASP, a floppy disk.
  • Had a single installation of a program, such as a graphics editor, and were constantly having to move files to that machine in order to use the program.
  • Wanted a convenient way to move data between computers with different operating systems.

Real Users Say:

  • “It does what it does extremely well. I was very impressed with the ease of use.”- http://twitter.com/KarenTweet
  • “This is great for somebody like me with linux/mac/pc boxes all on at the same time :)”- http://twitter.com/crazeegeekchick
  • “Working on Simidude is very easy. The software has a very user friendly interface. All the users need to do is just download and install the software and then start dragging and dropping to transfer files/folders from one computer to other. Just drag your file, folder, browser url, text, etc. into Simidude on one computer, turn over to your other computer and drag the thing from it’s Simidude window into it’s destination. There is no need to figure out your network installation configurations.”- Aditya, www.techravings.info
  • “Yes, a superbly simple and effective piece of software, which will really save me the hassle of constantly having to cut and paste information into OneNote and then "recapture" it on my other network machines.”- Graham Rhind
  • “Just ordered it, a big thanks for this very useful product! ”- Patrick J.
  • “I love this program.  I use two computers side by side and need to share files between them.”- Scott Stefan
  • “I want to thank you for developing Simidude. On my home network of Windows and Linux computers I had tried several techniques for file sharing and had found nothing that worked the way I desired. I installed Simidude and discovered that it is an exact fit for my needs and working approach. I will be telling my friends to give it a try.”- Chris Stoddart

    I like the idea of your program, but have a question about it:

    If I would have a registered licence for Simidude, but the person I want to share some objects with, does not have one, I would have to convince him, to buy your product too, to be able to share files, right?

    There is no such thing like the program does work, if at least one of the sender/receiver has a valid license, is it?

    If it would be, I could tell a (short time) customer to download your (not licensed) read more

    AGYNAMIX Developer Torsten Uhlmann (AGYNAMIX Developer) Says:

    Hi Michael,

    Simidude is licensed per network group or cluster. That means, for all computers you want to connect together and share information you need ONE license. However if you want to create several network groups you need a license per group.

    In your case you one need ONE LICENSE.

    The program comes with a 30 day trial so you can download it right away and test it with the other person...

    Kind Regards,
    Torsten.

    I've bought this software some months ago. It really does what it says and it's convenient and functional in various scenarios. I have it on all my PCs although I don't load it on startup. I open it when needed because I don't like something to constantly monitor my clipboard ( that's just me and my madness about security ).

    In general a great piece of software that provides great functions for all of us that have a local lan. It's also really easy to use and configure.

    As already registered user for some time now, you get a valuable and easy to use software with fast and helpful support. I really recommend Simidude.

    Visitor Berry Taylor (Visitor) Says:

    Would I be able to use Simidude as a mechanism to share information with my daughter who is at college on an entirely different network than my local 192.168 home network?

    AGYNAMIX Developer Torsten Uhlmann (AGYNAMIX Developer) Says:

    Hi Berry,
    it would probably work with some tricks but it was not made for this. Try using the free version of Dropbox for Internet wide file exchange.

    Visitor Michael R (Visitor) Says:

    Just saw, you are offering your program for different platforms.

    Does that mean, the personal license is valid for all of them and can the objects be exchanged between computers with different OS?

  • Oct 29 2009 3:04am
    AGYNAMIX Developer Torsten Uhlmann (AGYNAMIX Developer) Says:

    Hi Michael,

    yes, one personal license is valid on all supported operating systems (Windows, Linux, Mac).

    Even more, one license is valid for more than one computer simultaneously, provided you use these computers all in one Simidude group (they are meant to talk together). So you need one license for each group you plan to have. In almost all cases people only run one group with 2 or more computers.

    Hope that helps,
    Torsten.

    Visitor Peter Dr (Visitor) Says:

    Hello Agynamix:

    Does this mean that the items that are copied to the clipboard of one of the computers in the Simidude group, that is currently being monitered, are uploaded to a server somewhere on the Internet? If so, what are the privacy policies and rules of the server and/or company that is being used for this sharing?

    Thank you for your help.

    Peter

  • Oct 29 2009 11:20am
    AGYNAMIX Developer Torsten Uhlmann (AGYNAMIX Developer) Says:

    Hi Peter,

    no data is being uploaded to the internet. Simidude is meant to work in your local network. It does not have a server anywhere. Rather when Simidude starts on one computer it checks out if other Simidude instances are running in this same network and then connects to them if they share the same group name and password.

    There are ways however to connect to other computers outside of your local lan, for instance if you are running multiple subnets (larger company) and want to connect one computer in one lan to another lan. However that's only if you set it up. By default no data is leaving your network.

    Hope that clears up things.

    Have a great day,
    Torsten.

    Would like to purchase, but cannot get the trial version to install on ANY computer - all of them get error message:
    C:\Program Files\Simidude\lib\simidude.jar
    Could not create this file. Shall I try again?

    If I say yes try again, get same error.
    If I say no, get a different error:
    java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: -626056732
    to which I click OK, then it says Setup has completed, but if I try to run Simidude then, I get this error:
    Couldn't load read more

    Hi Jon,

    I got your helpdesk message and I'm trying to resolve the problem. I'll get in touch with you.
