The 25GB is almost not worth the hassle.</b><br /><br />Without Gladinet, then yes, it is not worth the hassle. However, with Gladinet's streamlined interface right on your Desktop, it eliminate the hassle of relying on a cumbersome SkyDrive web interface. Gladinet makes Skydrive a lot more convenient and easier to use.<br /><br /><b>John said...<br /><br />Wow! Dropbox ROCKS!!!</b> <br /><br />I can't say I share your sentiments. Dropbox's free offering (2.25 gb) is paltry compared to its competitors, like SkyDrive and Adrive, for example.<br /><br /><b>Anonymous said...<br /><br />Microsoft SkyDrive is Windows only and non-secure spagetti cloud.</b> <br /><br />The part about non-secure spagetti cloud is incorrect. SkyDrive "is" secure. Here is the excerpt from this website: <a href="http://windowslivehelp.com/thread.aspx?threadid=b15405be-b6e7-40bc-9f89-efd7df152e84" rel="nofollow">How are Data on Skydrive protected on the Storage - is there any encryption in use?</a><br /><br /><i>Microsoft takes several steps to help protect your data. For example, when you upload or access private files on SkyDrive, we encrypt information sent between you and our servers using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to help prevent eavesdroppers from seeing your files when in transit. Once your files are on our servers, we work to prevent hackers from accessing your data by employing sophisticated physical and electronic security measures. We also store multiple copies of your file on different servers and hard drives to help protect your data from hardware failure.</i>Reisnernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-84413018101013874962011-04-26T17:47:03.187-07:002011-04-26T17:47:03.187-07:00actually, a third party tool: GDocsDrive makes Goo...actually, a third party tool: <a rel="nofollow">GDocsDrive</a> makes Google storage really close to a GDriveAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853461334117655525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-66173095351655694022010-11-20T09:56:06.644-08:002010-11-20T09:56:06.644-08:00Google has no match with Dropbox or Ubuntu One.

I have 2 PC's with selected folders sync'd across both, some only to the cloud, and some stuff only in the cloud. The only issue is they are expensive, so if Google decided to implement such a feature, I surely would have to jump over. But only if it's done right. Like many other Sync sites, if I have to copy files to G: or X: or whatever it's called, then in my opinion it's not right. I think picking existing folders in their existing location and syncing them is awesome.<br /><br />But that's just my opinion! :-)Mr. Grellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13132341328124165166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-33848795917944689942010-01-17T01:26:53.101-08:002010-01-17T01:26:53.101-08:00Is there any Firefox extension to synchronize GDri...Is there any Firefox extension to synchronize GDrive with our desktop now please ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-60149213152758240422010-01-15T02:31:16.965-08:002010-01-15T02:31:16.965-08:00Hi,

So for now I don't use much google docs (no macro inside!) beside reading in gmail : html, pdf and ppt files.<br /><br />For my backup I am using Elephant drive Home plus edition (I am using their ElephantDesktop software). So for 99$/year I can save 4 of my computers hard drives with unlimited space (2GB max size for files). I have about 350Go saved for now. And I am happy about it.;) I can make searches for filenames in my backup archives. But the only caveat for now is that I still cannot use it with keywords searches ala "Google Desktop Search".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-72452272345385819432010-01-15T01:22:22.600-08:002010-01-15T01:22:22.600-08:00@Abraham:
