Let me update everyone…

On November 12 2008 Xdrive LLC part of AOL LLC sent out to Xdrive account holders an AOL Official Mail notifying them that the Xdrive service will be shutting down on January 12 2009. On December 12 2008 Xdrive LLC part of AOL LLC sent a second notice to Xdrive account holders.

Check your SPAM box if you don’t see it in your Inbox especially if you have a non AOL email account.

I would not recommend waiting until the last day. Get it done today…!

I recommend choosing ElephantDrive and to make transferring those digital assets over as easy as possible just click the link http://www.elephantdrive.com/m/ct.aspx?ici=267 …this is the Xdrive to ElephantDrive migration page.

ElephantDrive is the only solution provider working in cooperation with Xdrive using their Open Xdrive API. While competitors of ElephantDrive may offer discounts on their subscription plans you’ll have to do all the work of transferring your digital assets. ElephantDrive is committed to helping every Xdrive account holder make transitioning their digital assets seamless and transparent by using the Xdrive to ElephantDrive migration page.

ElephantDrive offers packages that are designed to protect the digital assets of individuals, SMBs, and large organizations.

[...] Sharing files and folders with others is a drag-and-drop process, and 500MB of storage space is more than you’ll find on many competitive services. However, if you routinely share files that you need to be very secure, I might recommend one of the more security-enhanced online storage solutions, such as Box.net’s or XDrive’s. [...]

I’ve never used the other services, but I would really reccomend Box.net. I recently stopped using them (simply because I didn’t need them) but they were excellent. Customer service was outstanding. And they *DO* have a mechanism for sharing.

Hi, i am an employee at drop.io and just wanted to respond to the above comment. We are a very new service having just started our alpha a few weeks ago. We will eventually have the ability to pay for extra functionality on our site – but we will be doing it in a very different way than most other services. We are working on a bunch of updates, so for now please just stay tuned. Also, if any of you need a little more space than 100MB in the meantime, reach out to contact@drop.io and reference this post – we can’t accommodate a huge rush/everyone, but are happy to do what we can while we are in our early alpha for the next few days if you really need it

Thanks for a useful overview – particularly of Drop.io which is newer to the space. Does anyone have a feel for how Drop.io intends to montetize its service? Both Box.net and Xdrive offer paid subscriptions for premium packages, but I couldn’t find a for-pay option at Drop.io.

If not obvious by my screen name, I’m a devotee of yet another service in the online backup and storage space called ElephantDrive. I like it a lot, but they should add a feature like Drop.io.

Or you can host them on your own server using Files Together (www.anywhere together.com). Its free with 2 user licenses and runs on linux and windows servers. There is also a mobile version for your pda and phone.

Xdrive : Nice classy Skin. Jaw dropping online storage space for the free sign up. Comparatively faster than most of the Online storage mediums.

Corporates with abound need of storage for data may get a paid signup, But for individuals the storage space is a Mini-Mobile-Hard Drive.
