I'm giving ZumoDrive a test drive right now....does similar stuff. ZumoDrive actually makes itself look like one of your drives (Z

. You get a gig for free. Also, it keeps the files you use often stored locally for those times you're not connected to the 'net. I like it so far. My wife uses it with her Netbook and really likes the functionality. I have the ZumoDrive app on my IPod Touch, and really like having access to things that way.

With Dropbox being on the i.Pad and Android, this makes this service even more valuable.

Here are some free GB's for you... https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTYwMDEwOQ

Chances are most of you who could use this already know about it, but I hadn't really messed with Dropbox for a year or so, and they've really improved the service. It's a viable alternative to mozy and Carbonite for online backup, plus you get instant backup (as opposed to periodic), support for multiple computers, and sync. It's a little more expensive ($10/mo for 50GB vs $6/mo for mozy), but it's well worth it for the simplicity IMO.

Yup. I started this thread before he had a chance to come on touting it, though.

That's great, and I frickin' love Dropbox. I haven't paid for additional space yet. I use Picasa Web to store all my pics ($5/year for 20GB of space) and back up the rest of my stuff on an external hard drive. $100/year is still a bit too pricey for me to get 50GB.
