  • Has Carbonite had a Privacy Breach?
    Yesterday Richi Jennings posted an interesting article over at ComputerWorld outlining what appears to be a problem with Carbonite users getting spammed. In the article Mr. Jennings started getting spam email to the email address he used exclusively with Carbonite which lead him to believe either “Carbonite has either sold my personal details, or has …
  • Carbonite Launches HomePlus and HomePremier Plans and New Features

  • Review Dropbox
    I get a lot, and I do mean A LOT of people leaving comments here on the Dropbox Review looking to increase their free Dropbox space by leaving their Dropbox Referral code. It got so bad at one point that I considered closing comments down on the Dropbox review to stop it. I was telling my …
  • Test Page for Google GDrive?
    TechCrunch had a post this morning with some interesting screenshots that I was still able to duplicate. It appears that searching Google for “Writely” shows a page in the Google search results partly with the title “test page for Platypus (GDrive)” Clicking through does not show much, just an error page for Google Docs. Perhaps the …
  • BeeCloud.eu 512GB Free Online Backup Solution
    Note: Beecloud has since closed their doors as well. Another Livedrive reseller, BeeCloud, has released a news release today talking about their 512GB free online backup service. I can’t help but think they were a little jealous of Backify that came out on October 13 with the same offer, and then by October 18th stopped offering …

  • Dropbox Funding, API and Forbes
    Dropbox is in the news again this last week with several new announcements. From raising more funding, a new API for mobile and web apps and a front page cover article on the upcoming Forbes magazine. While I don’t think most readers here care to much about how much money a company has raised, it …
  • Mapped Drive Support
    One of the most asked questions I get by email is what companies support mapped drives or network drives. With more and more homes having multiple computers and network attached storage devices it is not surprising that people want one service that can backup their networked data as well as the information on their local …
  • Backify To Stop Offering Free Accounts
        In a move that is really not a surprise to anyone I am sure, Backify is already going to stop offering free 512GB accounts. It only took them 4 days since their launch to announce they are closing off new 512GB accounts. The good news is if you are one of the 50,000 users that …
