50 GB Free Online Storage
http://adrive.com/ Free and with no download requirements. Just upload and leave it. Download when you need it. There is also a "Share" function if you want others to have access to specified (selected) files. A good way to transfer files that exceed your email limit (or that of the person to whom you are sending the file.)

I have just skimmed through the t&C of the site and i could not see anything that limited you to what you could store or for how long or anything, just that it had to be legal and not breaking copyright laws, but i agree something is wrong there has to be a catch. It is too good to be true !!

There is no catch. It is completely free. They are though, coming out with premium, just in-case you need more than 50 Gigs. Believe me, 50G can go by fast.

50GB is pretty huge. Is it *reliable*?, for being an online backup?

hello jdl, the first time I saw your thread convinced me to check it out immediately! (Maybe I saw the word FREE)

Asking if it is *reliable* doesn't mean I'm *in doubt* of it's service or feel pessimist for it's quality. I even saw it *MORE APPEALING*, than let's say ...Rapidshare, because of it's 50GB. That's why I said '50GB is pretty huge'! You know what?, I'm always after FREE products/service. QUALITY products/QUALITY service that are FREE.
I believe http://adrive.com/ is one them!

I'm only asking for an opinion 'eh. Maybe my question should be like this...

-------
Anyone tried http://adrive.com/ ? Is it reliable? Can you share me your experience? I believe it fits my needs, how do I use it/register?
-------

The same question when I asked for the *reliability* of Rapishare and people simply tell me YES then share the cool stuff/experiences.

Besides, we are under the forum...

-------
Reviews
Let us know about your experiences with particular companies or products.
-------

And again I'm only asking for your experience/review...nothing more...nothing less

(Why is it, sometimes, so hard to ask questions like this on every forum)

...free technology makes sense to me! don't get me wrong

Looks pretty good. Here's an image I stuck up there, I'm trying to see if they get upset with hotlinks.

You take it correctly it would appear.

Here's what I posted, obviously without the spaces in the IMG specification. It appears to simply return nothing. I wondered if it were possible, obviously not.

2 gigs I believe. From the FAQ:

What is the upload limit on a single file?
At the moment, the largest file size that can be uploaded is 2 gigabytes (2048 megabytes).

I did not see the link in your post John but now can see it in the Quote.
I also went to the link but all I see is there the main page you see here http://adrive.com/

So you got yor setting so anyone can see the file or is it Private? A Private link would be no good to us.

I use box.net and have sent people from this forum to download from my account (direct links with no password required once set up). No nagging and no cost, unless you want more.
