Amazon = Free cloud drive

Just thought I would put this out there. Accounts now through Amazon.com get a free 5GB cloud drive. Maximum file size per upload is 2GB.

I take it you don't trust Amazon?

well..

with flash drives now WAY beyound 5Gb.. why would anyone want to store something off line with a complete stranger ??

oh.. that's right.. because their .. Amazon.. gotcha..

but no thanks ..

Well to buy or sell from Amazon.com you have to create an account to use your credit card just like any other place you buy or sell from off the internet. All accounts get a free cloud drive. So if you can trust them with a credit card why not trust them with a cloud drive?? Besides even if you was to put secret personal data on it, it's not hard to encrypted a container file with say truecrypt before you upload. Most people would probably use it to store media files songs/movies. Access it from anywhere I don't see anything wrong with that and you can share files with others. I lost count how many times I have been out and about and someone asked to share a file and then you gotta figure out a way to share it. Even more difficult to share a file from a computer that has limited user access.

uh cool I guess, but for me and a lot of people outside major countries any such service might as well be non existent. Internet is still too slow and too little bandwidth to make any use of such.

Besides I would rather have it on a USB or portable hd rather than online.

Microsoft give away 7gb of storage free with their sky drive.
