Google leaks storage plan
Google recently leaks some info for some of its future plans on their website accidentally, and one of the leaked info is the so-called "GDrive". This ambigious service is to offer unlimited storage space for users so that ppl can store absolutely anything on the Google server, instead of using their own harddrive. In this way, you can get ur data anywhere you have a internet-connected computer.
This is a very cool idea, since as ppl move around a lot between work, home, and travelling, it's a pain to carry some kinda storage device, or even take ur computer with u so that you can get ur own data.
But just one big concern: do you trust Google enough that you are gonna put all ur stuff onto their server? I doubt I will ever do, as I cant even trust them so much to put all my mails in Gmail...

Check out FolderShare.
but guess what? it is a microsoft product :)
Yeah, I've heard about FolderShare b4. U have 2 G of space, right?
Haha, if i dont really trust Google, y would I even bother checking out Microsoft products? haha
Reasons for you to check out :)
1) I think FolderShare doesn't store your data on any microsoft server/public server/data server. They are stored on your computer hard drive. So a remote machine just mirror your home machine.
2) FolderShare wasn't a Microsoft product b4, they were bought by Microsoft. Just like Google bought Writely.
3) The only thing you need to trust is the security of the File Transfer i.e. the encryption.
Oh, so FolderShare is just an app for u to sync data between ur own server and any client machines? Then you are right, that I can trust. hahaha. Since it's just my own server anyway.
