Today we pick 5 of our favourite apps for small business owners that can really help to facilitate your daily operations and communications in business.

 

1. Dropbox

Want to send a file which is bigger than 25MB and your email client just won’t let you do it? Here’s the simple solution. Signup for a dropbox account and get an instant 2GB of space that allows you to store and share files with anyone, anywhere!

Dropbox is also good when you need to access several files of your clients or collaborate together.

You can use this special link here to register and get 500MB extra.

Alternatively, you can also use Google Drive, Box or One Drive to do the same thing. As each service has their own pros and cons, we leave the decision to you on which service you should use.

 

2. TeamViewer

This is one of our favourite communication apps after Skype. Sometimes, things are just so hard to understand over a phone call or email, you need to show exactly how to do it in order to understand it. So this is where TeamViewer comes to play. You can access to your client’s PC remotely via TeamViewer, and control their PC through the app!

This is very handy when email and phone conversation just won’t cut it. Access to your client or partner PC directly and show them how to do it, or help them to do it directly through TeamViewer, problem solved!

TeamViewer works for both Windows and Mac, so you don’t have to worry about compatibility.

 

3. Wave Accounting
