2 GB is the maximum file size you can upload at one time.
Thanks. Appreciated.
Hmm. Their site lists SSL and encryption of the data as both “coming soon”. So that means, for now, that the data one sends up there is open both on transmission and as stored. Kind of interesting to think that services like this are springing up, and do seem so compelling, yet if people upload personal data there, they need to be quite trusting of the vendors (and their eimployees). I know some swear by these kind of services, and they do have their value, but people should always look for security as a first consideration, unless they know that what they’re sharing is entirely uninteresting to prying eyes.
Still, as always, thanks MUO folks. Your site is AWESOME and I tell people about it all the time–in fact blogged about it recently.
Good point
I agree, they surely do look very compelling. They also tend to guarantee 100% security. The way I see it, someone should use such services only for sharing files that has no significant value. Or as you you pointed out “entirely uninteresting to prying eyes”. As for dealing with sensitive data, I would go with ones that are bigger and are specifically aimed at secure online backup/storage. (i.e. Mozy)
great website
so much easier than flash drives and other ways of transferring data + ITS FREE
I love the 50GB free storage and ADrive is very convenient for me to share large files among my classmates.
