Thanks for the article!

Adrive is free in the basic version. If you want encryption you can get it at a price of some 60 $ per year which seems rather fair.

I am really looking for a complete web based environment - something like Google Docs but better.

Almost like having a thin client or a tiny Linux like Puppy just too boot up and get access to everything.

Also a little like StumbleUpon and others only I would like it to be private and share only what I want to share.

Let me know if you have seen something like this.

Mozy ( mozy.com ) is nice too, with 2GB free storage, and you can schedule automatic backup using its program. However, it is not for Linux users.

if i haven’t missed it, has anybody developed something similar to the gdrive shell for skydrive? i want to archive hundreds of small files, which is a pain using the browse-uploader.

docs is definitely one of the best things i’ve seen happen to word processing. i prefer originating and storing my documents there since it supports (among other extensions) pdf download. and its always available wherever i have net access, so rarely do you see me toting a flash drive anymore.

I have tried several times now, on two computers (one Windows, one Mac), to sign up for an ADrive account. Each time, I get a message that the State field cannot be left blank. In each chase, New York shows clearly in the field. And it’s a drop down menu, so there’s only one way to fill in the field. What’s the problem with this? I wrote earlier this week about this, and have received no response.

Heads up from the ADrive Team. Right now we are in Beta version. However, keep your eyes open for a new release in the next month or so. Our plan is to release paid services which includes but is not limited to larger account sizes, WebDAV, client backup, and SSL encryption. Keep in mind that a free account now will always be a free account. We do not expire data or accounts. Our only upload/download limits are 2GB per file. That is an ISP industry standard for their protection. Thanks for all your support. -ADrive Team

Well yes these where dedicated storage services, I think you will find those google services have already been covered on Makeuseof.

Thanks mate. Yep, after reviewing those I have ended up using the ADrive as my main online backup for photos and all that…

I like http://www.drop.io very much. You can upload files less than 100 MB, which isn’t much storage, but you can password protect them and share files with friends. For example, if you upload a video, you can store it to http://www.drop.io/awesomevid with optional password protection so other people can’t download it.
