Way back in 1999, 100 MB email account was considered a premium stuff.
Then Google changed the entire face of email storage and gave away 2 GB+ storage space for free.
And then everybody followed.
Same is happening with file storage services too.
Rapidshare is definitely one of the most popular and painful sites to use (You are treated like a dog, if you aren’t a premium member)
I covered a couple of file sharing options in the past (link), and then XDrive came in with 5 GB of free storage, and the latest to join the bandwagon is : AMD Live!
Their offering/USP? They are giving away 25 GB of free storage space. And if you are ready to shell out 29.95$ per month, you get a storage space of 1000GB!!
AMD Live, is definitely a great product and offers the same set of features (and more) as XDrive.
You can use AMD Live! Media Vault application to:
- store, access, and share your videos.
- store, organize, and share your photos. Your photos are automatically sorted so you can quickly create photo albums, tag photos for easy organization, edit photos, and share photos with anyone
- store, organize, and stream your music simple. Your music is automatically sorted to Music so you can easily create playlists, stream your music, and edit ID3 tags
- to share large files with anyone. Mail enables you to send files, receive files, download attachments, or save attachment for easy organization,
Like Google, AMD Live is all set to change the face of storage space industry.

Ok,fine.
Have u heard about pando.com??
It makes every user with existing email ids to share files amounting to 1GB..
It works like this:
pando.com gives a free small application that does all the magic.
When some one wants to send huge files or folders,yes even folders!..the application packages it and uploads it to its own encrypted servers(meaning even people at pando.com also don’t know what people are sending)..that stays there for 14 days..(unless anyone forwards the data to some other user)in this time the other end user can download the shared data from pando servers directly.
The other end user gets a small file abt 20KB approx. in its inbox,to which the sender addressed the data to,from within the pando application.
This file opens through pando application..and real downloading and uploading is done through pando application.
The greatest magic is that one can resume downloads aswell as uploads!
Check it out:pando.com
Thanks for your comments..the only issue with these services are that they are time bound and have space constraints too. In such a case, AMD Live’s 25GB sounds too good!!
Pando is integrated with Yahoo messenger too: Have a look here:
That is really cool.
Thanks
