Some people are wetting themselves with excitement (or at least bothering to blog) about the rumored GDrive ‘Platypus’ client that seems to be being used internally within Google.
The consensus is this isn’t coming anytime soon but if you fancy a bit of free online storage have a look at the GMail Drive Shell Extension which will give you another drive that uses your GMail account for storage.
I have been an enthusiastic DriveHQ user for almost 2 years. Their service is great!
All GDrive features are long available and better on DriveHQ.com. Visit http://www.drivehq.com and watch the demo.
# Backup. DriveHQ Online Backup works great. It has a lot of high-end features, much better than GDrive, including versioning, scheduled backup, encrypted storage, compressed upload, incremental backup and resuming, etc.
# Sync. DriveHQ FileManager can sync multiple PCs, multiple user accounts.
# VPN-less access. You can access your data from anywhere using a web browser, any FTP client, or DriveHQ Cline software, or SMTP/POP3 email with Outlook!
# Collaborate. DriveHQ Group Account service is a true enterprise class collaboration platform. You can easily share folders to different people with different access rights. DriveHQ Group Account owner / admin can create/manage/delete sub-accounts.
# Disconnected access. On the plane? VPN broken? All your files are still accessible as DriveHQ FileManager can cache the data for offline access! DriveHQ even offers SMTP/POP3 emails for offline Outlook access with unlimited email storage!
DriveHQ offers basic service for free. So why the hype and why the wait? Sign up at: http://www.drivehq.com/?refID=2925384
