A-Drive 50 gigs Free Online Storage

Thursday, July 29, 2010 by G3mpi3 | Discussion: Personal Computing

Hey everyone,

 

I was looking at the gadget and gear deals of the day over at Lifehacker.com and one of the free deals was 50 gigs of storage on a site called ADrive. I just signed up, and I wanted to share it with the rest of the community because 50 gigs is a really good amount of storage for free. I was using box.net, but they only allowed me to use 1 gig for free.

I would suggest signing up, it's free, and you can check a box so they don't heckle you with emails.

The Internet and its accessibility is guaranteed NOT to be stable.

I was going to e-mail it to you but my internet was down.

If a site/host/web-based storage 'system' goes down...or goes bust totally....you are hosed.

Storage [as in data/backup/whatever] should be on STABLE physical media.

The Internet and its accessibility is guaranteed NOT to be stable.

You are correct that relying alone on an external server is a bad idea. If I do a lot of work, it is backed up about as much as you can get. 2 hard drives, 1 for automatic backups, 2 external mirrors for sharing my work and I will admit I should burn more but the chance that the internet fails and my 2 hard drives is like 1,000,000 to 1.

aDrive is great spot for hosting mods and is a lot more popular that WinCustomize. Why is that?

My guess would be because WinCustomize is about skinning, not popularity.   This ain't Twitter, it's WC.....Home of the few, the proud, the skinners!

Its also supposed to be where Sins mods were supposed to be hosted. There is even a big upload button that nobody uses. 

EDIT: Ya Im old. I dont even know what a skinner is.   Oh ya Buffalo.

If you need more than 50GB you can look for www.stocklii.com/en. They offer a lot of space for small monthly fees.
