Having additional storage for data is good, especially for back ups but I'm not sure I would feel safe doing it where it is out of my control. 

Getting addtional storgae is not really that expensive anymore and you can choose from internal to external drives.

Good tip there Glen, thanks!! 

Oh wow! haha I didn't notice that "premium" package. No one would ever pay that much! That's just ridiculous! haha 

I'll keep my SkyDrive it's free but only 25GB but then again I have 4 E-mails with MSN/HotMail/Live

and I can tell anyone the link and it's good till I remove said link. and Can give them/or one access to upload to it to..

Does anyone Know what MSN stands for  is it MicroSoft Nagging  or Net

I wonder how long it will take before some moron starts filling his 50 gigs with pirated games and movies lol?

Scenario:

"Kid A" comes home from school. Logs in to his free 50 gigs and uploads all the games he downloaded via torrent the night before. He emails the account and pass to his buddy, "Kid B", who logs on and grabs those games, then changes the pass and gives it to another buddy, "Kid C", or he just leaves the pass what it is and hands it out to "D-E-F-G", you get the idea. Thanks for the free piracy internet!!!

Than again these guys probably check to make sure pirated stuff isn't being uploaded, right?

Which is exactly why I wouldn't use something like this. What I store somewhere should be my business. By storing files on someone else's hardware you give them the legal right to browse through it any time they want. While I agree with that and agree with it being used to fight Piracy, what's to stop one of their disgruntled or dishonest employees from browsing through any financial files someone might put in there because they think it's "secure" ? Because they say they won't? RofL....Because someone might try to sue them if their bank account info gets stolen because they chose to store it on a online website? Hahaha...both of those cases would get laughed out of court and the person who put their bank account info in there would be blamed for putting his or her bank account info there in the first place.

It's a very handy service, don't get me wrong. I think it's really cool the site/company would do something like that for free. Sites like this can be used for backing up important files that you don't want to get lost or deleted by accident or want to have duplicates of, but I'd highly recommend NOT putting any "sensitive information" onto any site like that. This leads to a slight problem. Why even use it if you can't keep sensitive information there safely? What about the customers privacy? Privacy becomes irrelevant once you upload something to a companies hardware. People should keep that in mind.

Good point! I didn't think of that honestly as I wouldn't think it would be necessary on a "secure" server. Most normal uses don't think about it either I would think. When I say normal I'm thinking about some little old lady who would want to use it to save pictures or old financial records or medical records or something. Then again I also don't see there being a lot of users like that anyway.

I would NEVER use or rely on a website for file/data storage.

Never.

Ever.

I am 10,000 miles away from Michigan so any connection with Stardock is about as remote as it can get....

The reality is that no online reliance on data accessibility is totally within your OWN control.

If a site/host/web-based storage 'system' goes down...or goes bust totally....you are hosed.

Storage [as in data/backup/whatever] should be on STABLE physical media.

The Internet and its accessibility is guaranteed NOT to be stable.

You are correct that relying alone on an external server is a bad idea. If I do a lot of work, it is backed up about as much as you can get. 2 hard drives, 1 for automatic backups, 2 external mirrors for sharing my work and I will admit I should burn more but the chance that the internet fails and my 2 hard drives is like 1,000,000 to 1.

aDrive is great spot for hosting mods and is a lot more popular that WinCustomize. Why is that?

Its also supposed to be where Sins mods were supposed to be hosted. There is even a big upload button that nobody uses. 

EDIT: Ya Im old. I dont even know what a skinner is.   Oh ya Buffalo.
