While investigating cloud back up I ran across a outfit called cloudswave ( cloudswave <http://www.cloudswave.com>)-who pointed me to there service called box+ I've only done a bit of poking and proding it looks like the use quite a bit of the google ecology where it gets interesting though is they offer either a terabyte of storage for just under 20 a month. Compared to googles 45 for the same amount of space I have no idea how they can afford that. They also claim they have some sort of app that can work with a desktop app for colaberation- One pro for google is brand name recognition I was in a meeting today and the lady I asked the lady I was talking to if she'd accept a link pointing to google drive she delitedly said oh sure. I'm not sure i'd get the same instant: aha that's a known work safe place reaction from google competitors.
