20 GB is a pretty good size, considering that most companys (if they even do offer it for free) will give 5gb out.

WOOW. A Benefit to user, benefit to Asus and what more…….. Benefit to that Telecom company in Taiwan or China, whereever. Getting hands on that consumers data stored there? It’s probably not less questionable than having email with Google. But it’s just another step to what’s called “Transparent Me” with nothing to hide.

I discovered a Memopal (www.memopal.com) “cutting edge solution for online
backup”

They merged online backup, online storage and file sharing services into one product.

If you try this service you will notice that (contrary to most competitors):
- You can access your files in (true) real time with a web browser
- They really offer 250 GB (some competitors offer a fake unlimited web
space, they say “fair use”)
- You can share a file or many files with the 1-click-share functionality
- Some of your files will be uploaded very very fast (turboupload)
- The service and website are in 10 different languages

I’ve also found two useful guide to online backup on Wikipedia:

Here’s some measures to consider: size for free (how much GB), transfer limits, upgrade options, public (URL) access to a subset of your files, sharing to a community (not everyone, not private, but a selected group – like a sports league). One site that seems to support all of these facilities is http://www.myotherdrive.com. I would like to see an automated option to keep my files in sync. I spoke with them about this, they said that feature is coming in an new release. No date was given, but they assured me it was on their list.

On the subject of file backup, sharing and storage …

Online backup is becoming common these days. It is estimated that 70-75% of all PC’s will be connected to online backup services with in the next decade.

Thousands of online backup companies exist, from one guy operating in his apartment to fortune 500 companies.

Choosing the best online backup company will be very confusing and difficult. One website I find very helpful in making a decision to pick an online backup company is:

http://www.BackupReview.info

This site lists more than 400 online backup companies in its directory and ranks the top 25 on a monthly basis.

Pretty smart of Asustek. Now that the competition has really caught up, the battle is now shifting to add-on services.

I wonder how would the rest of the competition respond.
