Hey, you managed to avoid a title like “AOL also tops Google email service in storage size” or “AOL releases a Gmail-killer” !

Congratulations!

let’s not underestimate these guys even though their net services still suck in todays standards, they will keep on throwing baits like these and sooner or later they will catch enough fish… and let’s not forget that these guys are all about promo and were kings of promo in the 90s and are under tremendous amount of pressure to reinvent their promo strategies successfully for 2.0 assuming they do it from AOL focus not the whole TW conglomerate focus

As an aol user I’m happy to hear it. Using the online version of their mail system is still a headache, but maybe this will improve things.

What exactly is the business model of free storage sites anyway? Dell’s entry level PC under $500 come with a standard 160GB of space. 5 Gigs free, wow. My ipod collection has 20 times that. Who really cares about 5 free gigs anyway? pedophile storing thier kiddy porn?

Is there something I don’t see here? I don’t see free (except for 30 days) and when I sign into my aim account on xdrive it only gives me a 50% discount.

Don, the free part will start in September.

Weird, I read three blog posts and managed to miss that part. Thanks!

Obivously, people care to have online storage or this wouldn’t be a hot topic right now. I keep my important docs on line for back up and to retrieve when I’m at the office.

Another one to watch: http://www.diskr.com, this market will be very interesting..

I guess 5 free gigs comes at the cost of, oh say, 5,000 employees!!

AOL to slash payroll by 5,000 employees (announced 15 mins ago)

Wow, lets send out a press release about 5 free gigs a few hours before we lay off a few people.

Doh!

Those are only storage solution. I am a big fan of YouSendIt.com. You can STORE and DELIVER at the same time. I think that’s neat.

I am wondering how the 13 companies that you have reviewed are going to react to this. The two companies that I am personally interested in are OmniDrive and Box.net. I have beta accounts with them, and got a 5 GB account at Box.net for 5 referrals. This is bound to hit them hard if this turns out to work well and efficiently, and has a good usability factor..

Xdrive’s user interface is horrid. And buggy.

The lack of usability of first generation online storage companies is half the reason why Box, OmniDrive, and the rest exist. The other half is pricing, which by all appearances, they are addressing.

I heard goog is thinking in the 15-20 GB range for free.

None of this solves my problem, which I believe I am not alone in having.

I need a service with 40GB of space at a reasonable price that will schedule uploads, provides remote access, and enable me to easily share stuff. I need a simple UI and don’t want it to slow down my computer which happens to be a Mac.

Steamload has now only 100Mb per month bandwith for free users…

Actually, Other, the service you were looking at is Streamload’s old service, simply called Streamload. That service is going away in the next couple weeks as its users are migrated to their new service, MediaMax.

See http://www.mediamax.com

In addition to the 25 GB of free storage, MediaMax offers 1 GB of download bandwidth per month and unlimited upload bandwidth.

Mike C:

You guys working on a Mac client?

Andre is right. My Verizon DSL insured that my 20GB upload took 8 days on Carbonite where I recently signed up. The good news is that after the intial backup, the daily incremental updates basically are fast and unnoticed. Would be nice if my pipe was symmetrical.

Hi, Lance. That’s a great question. It is on the roadmap. I don’t have an exact date for you yet. However, there are many Mac purists on staff here, so there’s plenty of incentive to get it on the market.

Hope that it will be useful.

Hi!
Nice info, big thx.

I stumbled across this site while googling for information about cancelling my AOL account. We just got high speed through Comcast — I called AOL to make sure that I could still keep our email accounts (3 usernames). Instead, I was talked into down-grading to the “essentials” plan, meaning I am still an AOL subscriber, but for $9.95 a month as opposed to $23.90 a month, and for this I get their security, customer service, 5 hours of dial-up as a backup…. This isn’t something I want or need. I want to cancel entirely, but I still need confirmation from someone who knows (not from an AOL rep), that we will still be able to use our current AOL screen names. I know I can still go to the AOL website and get my AOL mail, and I can still use IM, but I’m just worried that AOL will delete our current screen names (our of spite?) once I completely cancel their service. And I need to keep these email addresses as is. Can someone confirm this for me — assure me it will stay the same? Thanks much!!!

To Karen M - yes, you can absolutely still cancel AOL entirely and keep your email addresses as is. My sister and aunt both did it, and it was fine. You can also keep using the AOL software with Comcast if you want to instead of having to use AOL.com to get your email. My sister likes using the software for email, so we set her up that way. You just have to change the software’s setting for access from dial-up to broadband. I think the software can detect this and help you with the set up.

Thanks, Kel!!

Xdrive is the leading solution for on-line storage today. However there is a new solution I dont know much about called Diino (www.diino.com) that has interesting technical platform. Anybody used it?

There is a new entrant to the online backup world offering free gigs of space. It’s called IDrive-E
(http://www.idrive.com) and it is offering 2GB of data absolutely free to backup your precious documents, photos, music files and so on with their ‘Basic’ plan.

Wait! If you want more, just pay just $4.95 per month and get unlimited backup space. Or shell out $49.50 per year and get two months of backups for free! Moreover, there are no limits on the upload or download sizes of files for backup. You can also backup any type of files. All data is compressed during transmission and all backups are incremental: the application backs up files that have changed since the last backup. There is also 128-bit SSL encryption when data is transferred over the Internet and 256-bit AES encryption on storage with an encryption key provided by the user.

IDrive-E retains 30 versions of backed up data and you can restore any version from these 30 versions. You can also restore latest versions of all your files or versions of files as of a specific backup set. There is an ‘IDrive-E Classic interface’ to backup and restore files and folders, schedule your backup for a future data and time, exclude files and folders from backups and delete files and folders in the IDrive-E account. A windows explorer like interface, ‘IDrive-E Explorer view’, is for restoring files and folders and is not for backups. You can browse your IDrive-E account contents, restore files and folders with a simple drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste operation, view history of files, drag-and-drop or copy files to local drive (restore file versions) and search for files and folders backed up in your IDrive-E account. Overall, this is an interesting product from the IBackup (’http://www.ibackup.com).
