i love webdrive as a windows ftp client because it actually allows me to assign any ftp location to a drive letter. then all of my apps which can address a local drive can use a remote filesystem… even dos xcopy! one of my favorite uses was when i was trying to use a feature of office and it asked me to insert the ms-office installation disk (which was at home on my PC 2000 miles away). However, by mapping the cdrom’ drive’s drive letter to a directory on my home pc that contained the backup of my ms+office install disks… voila!

@ Poonam: I also had a miserable exprience with MediaMax. I switched to ElephantDrive which I use for backup and for sharing big files.

Their support chat convinced me it would be better because with the backup program running, the files I share are already uploaded so there’s no wait time when I decide to share. So far, I’m impressed. Pretty decent. REporting could be a lot better, but they support PC/Mac/Linux.

Hi, you have recommended ADrive, I too have an account there.

However, I recently had a bad experience with a site MediaMax that used to provide 25 GB of space. I lost all my data without notification. Read my story here: http://alchemistpoonam.wordpress.com/2008/06/03/streamloadmediamaxlinkup-cheats-and-offenders-on-web/

Now, my question is can we trust ADrive? Can we trust any other online storage site? How can we be sure that our data is safe?
