Add to that the seamless integration with the Operating System (I use Snow Leopard) plus the version control (saved me when I overwrote a file by accident) and it is the best by miles.Markyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05924045479504335569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-76005003070469531072010-02-12T22:23:48.652-08:002010-02-12T22:23:48.652-08:00I would find this much easier to use if they used ...I would find this much easier to use if they used a "virtual" drive system like Dropbox. Also, Dropbox gives you 2GB for free. I hope to see Google moving more in that direction.taneyanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-66482792870101804042010-02-12T19:47:11.088-08:002010-02-12T19:47:11.088-08:00The first thing I uploaded was my RootsMagic files...The first thing I uploaded was my RootsMagic files. I finally have them backed-up somewhere besides my house. I found this service limited only by my ISP's slow upload speed.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16060860130861428749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-55841471788820123302010-02-11T14:44:06.293-08:002010-02-11T14:44:06.293-08:00If it's free space you're looking for, you...If it's free space you're looking for, you could hack together:<br />2 GB from Mozy<br />2 GB from Dropbox (can also share files from here)<br />1 GB from Box.net (can also share files from here)<br />With your 1 GB from GoogleDocs, you're now up to 6 GB.<br /><br />I'm sure there are others; EverNote 3's web-based service for instance, and I bet multiple other backup services. A gig here and a gig there. As long as you make a list of what you put where, you're way ahead. Otherwise you'll just be confused.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-64232116137663553742010-02-11T13:24:01.650-08:002010-02-11T13:24:01.650-08:00Randy,
