here is a site where you can get 50gb of storage for free! no credit card required. trying it right now

evilfantasy · « **Reply #1 on:** January 02, 2009, 11:47:38 AM »

I think there is a daily upload limit there. In other words it will take years to upload 50gb with a free account.

If not then let me know

patio · « **Reply #2 on:** January 02, 2009, 11:54:22 AM »

Files not accessed after 30 days will be deleted....i'll pass.

computeruler · « **Reply #3 on:** January 02, 2009, 11:57:36 AM »

hmm well i only need it for about 2 days so itll be fine for my needs

evilfantasy · « **Reply #4 on:** January 02, 2009, 12:02:51 PM »

Heh, I knew there was some restriction I didn't like.

All free storage has some sort of restrictions hidden in the fine print.

Free online storage

Mp3Tunes.com - Unlimited free storage of your music collection
MyOtherDrive.com - Store up to 5GB of files
Windows Live SkyDrive - Microsoft 5GB free

- IBackup - Anywhere from 5GB to 300GB of storage
Picasa and Picasa Web Albums (free)

evilfantasy · « **Reply #6 on:** January 02, 2009, 12:31:27 PM »

Unless it's changed.

computeruler · « **Reply #7 on:** January 02, 2009, 12:34:04 PM »

what thing do i download? the MP3tunes LockerSync
about adrive:after selecting 49.93gb of music to upload i discover i can only have 1k files per upload session. I removed some and it said you can only have 2gb a session too! how stupid

computeruler · « **Reply #8 on:** January 02, 2009, 12:35:08 PM »

music locker- with the free one you only get 2gb

evilfantasy · « **Reply #9 on:** January 02, 2009, 12:35:29 PM »

That's what I said about upload limits.

I've never used MP3tunes so I'm not sure.

Ironman · « **Reply #10 on:** January 02, 2009, 07:36:18 PM »

I usually use Rapidshare or Megaupload, works for me, also Fileden.com and DivShare.com are pretty good too.

This thread is factually incorrect about ADrive. There is no daily upload limit and files do not get deleted. I uploaded 5gb overnight with no problem. Here is a quote from the FAQ:
Q: Will my files or account ever expire?
We do not expire nor delete any confirmed accounts or user files. For paid accounts, your billing information must be kept up-to-date. Please review our terms of service at www.adrive.com/terms and www.adrive.com/billp for more information.

I can confirm that files do not get deleted. I had created ADrive Basic account back in March 2008 and uploaded some files then. I have not logged onto it for many months but I just now logged on and I see all the files I had uploaded still there.

There have to be strings...check the privacy policy and terms of service or terms and conditions for selling your information, or contents of your files...never host confidential files.

Winterdune, first post.

2x3i5x · « **Reply #16 on:** June 23, 2009, 06:58:09 PM »

I don't know if there's a file size limit (as in, maximum size per file uploaded) but as far as I see, no limit on number of files that you can upload.

The hey would be me. Don't you do that sort of thing around here then? Have you moved on? I'd have thought people might actually like to know, since adrive.com does in fact provide a lot of good, free storage, with no upload limit and no file expiry, as was stated in this thread. (Obviously you shouldn't put confidential files up there - quite a few reviews of the site make the point that security on the free version is rather limited).

I think 999 is the max number.

Several times I've seen a old topic about a company/product bumped by someone, and everytime it was from a marketing representative, likely sitting at a desk doing googles for the product name, attempting to rectify the great injustices that public opinion can do. In most cases the program/service turns out to be a scam or otherwise illegitimate- this is definitely an exception, in that the program/service is surely both legitimate and at the current time misrepresented by the earlier posts in this thread.

The earlier posts citing limitations that don't exist I'm sure were misunderstandings and/or unique perceptions of the agreement.

Broni · « **Reply #20 on:** June 24, 2009, 05:04:15 PM »

Actually, I've been using free Adrive for a while, and none of my files were deleted after 30 days.
The only 30 days thingy, I'm aware of is, when you move any of your private files to public folder (so someone can download it), if it's not accessed for 30 days, it'll be moved back to your private folder.

2x3i5x · « **Reply #21 on:** June 24, 2009, 05:09:33 PM »

Yeah, I've had files that were 2 years old and still on adrive and the only thing deleted was the download links generated when I made some files downloadable to the general public (if they knew the link to download it from)

I don't like the name, Bing...

Aegis · « **Reply #32 on:** June 24, 2009, 09:29:56 PM »

I don't, either. I think of Bing Crosby, every time. (Not that that's not a flaw in my thought processes, but Bing Crosby, bing cherries, ba da boom, ba da bing...

)

It's a search engine for mafia types: "so, den I type in da letters, and bing! I'm dere!"

All right...maybe I should be banned...

I think Evilfantasy should pen a letter to Mr. Ballmer to explain his (proper) interpretation of Bing!

Then we can all watch ol' Steve fly off the handle on youtube!
