That sounds interesting....there are certainly a lot of providers jumping into this market now, I just picked on Google because my mail account and blog are hosted by them and it seemed natural to follow on with the storage.
I was just going to use a DataNow appliance in my own house but I was conscious then that the "cloud" became my own home-based storage and something like a house fire would wipe out all my data whether it be client or storage-based :-( I think it's maybe time someone did one of those nice "smackdown" reviews based on all the cloud storage vendors. I may have a look at OxygenDrive anyway given my own obsession with portable apps :-) Cheers, JR On 11 April 2013 15:00, Steven M.
