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
