X-Drive

[Gig-O-Ram]

Does anyone have any thoughts on this X-Drive service? I have been thinking of getting it, and despite all their claims to their security, I have doubts of whether it's worth it to use it. I'm not sure I want my files on an outside server where anyone who wants to can go in and look at them - because you know they can if they want to. Maybe I'm being paranoid...

the only problem I can think of is if you stop paying them, you lose everything

X-Drive is a freebee thing, but man, you want to talk about a PITA!! About half the time it don't work, and the other half, it takes forever to upload anything to it! I used it about 8 months ago for about a week and took the little bit I had on it and dumped it!

Your better off getting the GMail drive thingy and using your Gmail account as a file storage. It works a ton better.

Considering I don't have GMail...I suppose there's nothing stopping me from getting it if they have a storage option. I guess they're lying then when they talk about the ease with which you can upload and access your files, aren't they? I guess I've found myself wondering why anyone would use it, for the reasons I stated earlier.

Gmail doesn't have a file storage option, it is a 3rd party app. If you google Gmail drive, you will find it with ease.

And to boot, gmail is over 2gb for storage!!!

X drive worked fine for uploads and downloads at my house, but now at school the firewalls wont let me download anything off of it. Then again i was uploading and downloading games and videos. . .
