  • Test Page for Google GDrive?
    TechCrunch had a post this morning with some interesting screenshots that I was still able to duplicate.

  • 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.

  • Livedrive Resellers Besides Backify
       Yesterday I mentioned that a new Livedrive reseller started up called Backify. They are offering a 512GB free account and have gotten some press because of it.
