Not really. One gets 35 MB initially, and one has to sign up for some
rubbishy spam email services else it's only 25 I think (can't remember
exactly now). One can make it 100 MB by getting other people to sign up
with their services

Of course, undersigned can never refuse a free offer, so I tried it out a
couple of weeks ago. Uploaded a MP3 file and it got stuck half-way, haven't
bothered to try again. Planned to test it, but my computer was kaput again.
More hardware problems... Sigh.
While I was uploading I noticed it said that the file would be there for 2
weeks - not sure what happens to it afterwards?
One has two directories when one signs up with X-Drive, the one is marked
private, the other public. From what they say, the main idea is to store
stuff up there that one wants to be able to get at from anywhere, or stuff
one would prefer not to have on one's computer. Like the gains from one's
illegal proceeds perhaps? Perhaps they have the tax man check their files
and get paid for it - or they hope to cut in on the criminal world (IF they
were stupid enough to put illegal stuff up there :-)
