I love that I can turn to whatever screen is nearest me and continue writing. Pick something up mid-sentence if necessary. What I don't love is how you're supposed to find the things you're writing.

This morning I have used iCloud, Evernote and Dropbox for various tasks and I've reached for each of them without really thinking. That is terrific. It's only when you stop to think or, much worse, are stopped and have to think about it, that things fall apart.

If I'm writing a script and come back to it after a few days away, I have to think. Is it in Dropbox? Could well be. Did I really just write notes about it in Evernote? Quite possibly. Or, I think the worst, is it in iCloud? That's the worst because while it's my favourite online storage for a lot of reasons, one of them isn't this: you have to find the right application first. If you wrote it in Pages, you can only see that it even exists by opening Pages first.

So you'vd got these pots of online storage and finding you way around them is a pain. It's a galling pain because the whole point of iCloud, Dropbox and the like is that you are supposed to be able to forget where things are and just get on with it.

There's no answer to this yet. But there is now Collections, a free Mac app that at least tries to help:

Browse your online content
File management for the cloud era. Efficiently browse and edit your Google Docs. View all of your and your friends' photos from Instagram and Facebook. Keep a running archive of your Instagram liked photos and view your entire YouTube watch history, as well the videos you've uploaded, favorited, or liked. With Twitter, view your tweets, your favorites, and the people you follow.

I don't use Google Docs or Instagram, I'm not very interested in photos on Facebook. And if I were to adopt a third-party system like this (as opposed to it being part of the fabric of what Apple or Microsoft provide on their computers) then I'd really want it to be on iOS.

But Collections is trying to address a genuine (if first-world) problem so take a moment to watch the video on the official site.
