not bad. Will try it out

[SkinnyPupp]

Looks good but I hope they have a good interface. If it is browser based like Docs, I'm not that interested.

I love Dropbox, it is SO handy. I may switch though, because hey, it's google :fullofwin:

[Gh0stRider]

I am a HUGE fan of Dropbox but I'll check this out too.

[lilaznviper]

yay more online space. i think my dropbox still has more space.

[ddr]

nope. i enabled it and downloaded the windows app. google docs got moved over

i wonder if that would affect the MS office plug-in when google drive takes over. currently i have to plugin to sync the version i work from the dropbox folder, and i make another local copy that is synced to skydrive.

[GGnoRE]

Damn it, mine is not ready yet...

[winson604]

Just got an email saying it's ready. Liking it so far and it's free so ain't complaining. This + dropbox = dope

[PornMaster]

would be dope if you can use this with ps3

[Eclypz]

woohoo! 10GB single file size limit!

[tdeweyn]

Sorry staying with DropBox. Already got like 10.2GB free.

[jackmeister]

Is it possible to work on a file on Google Drive and then save it there, without a copy on the computer (like dropbox)?

[SkinnyPupp]

OK after seeing how I can do image searches on my own photos, I think I'll be switching

:ahwow:

[Hehe]

I am still testing, but so far so good.

I think I might be moving my off-site backup of important files to Google Drive.

It's really fast too. My friend hit 5MB/s download on his company's 100mbps connection on a video I shared.

Now... where can I find a consumer ISP that offers reasonable symmetric connection..

My wife had never used SkyDrive before, but had a hotmail account. I logged into her SkyDrive for the first time and claimed the 25GB no problem..

[Presto]

^^^
I guess a current Live account is all you need, then. New Live accounts are the ones that aren't valid.

[GLOW]

what do you mean? how and for what purpose?

[JoeyStorm]

It's only for existing Skydrive users, which is good if you are one:

If you already have a live account (Hotmail), you can just claim it. I never used Skydrive and just claimed the 25gb
