No file size limitations. :)

I don't really see where I'm gonna use it but I'd still sign up :p

Yea I'm the same, I have random GB accounts all over the place, but I`m sure one day they`ll all come in handy

I was trying to find the referral link, it says get more space by inviting friends, we could all add our link to our reply and next member uses previous link etc, would work out well for everyone but I cant find it

I won;t sign up till I can help someone by clicking a referral link

I found it, its at the bottom of your home page once you sign up, you have to invite them via email :)

1GB per referral, 10GB max

No file size limitations. :)

I don't really see where I'm gonna use it but I'd still sign up :p

Yep thanks, I also signed myself up again with another email address and got another 1GB :)

Yep, they haven't put in a comprehensive referrel system like dropbox does. There is no benefit to the person who uses the referral because they don't get the free 1 gig, only the person who sends it. Use meltmail.com if you need extra temp addresses to max out.

I tried to upload 2GB file, got this: Please upload files less than 200 MB. For me it's useless service if they are limiting size of a single file. Yes, i could split the file in parts, but no thanks, not worth.

Desktop sync is good but the file limitation is the downside (if you're just a free user :p )

Damn, FAQ says there are no file limitations. Is that through the browser or the sync app?

I've just dragged a 3.3GB windows 8 ISO into the idrivesync software and it is uploading it fine

Through the browser, i hate having to install any additional addons or software just to get the functionality which can be provided by a browser.

I am attached to Charter's Cloud Drive service as a customer. They keep switching from 10TB limit to unlimited space allowances. Still haven't found a reason to use it because I am too paranoid about my data. I figured I had a solution to this - send encrpyted files up to the cloud drive! So as a test, I tried to encrypt some files (Family Photos), as a test. Ended up with a 23gb file. Got kicked back for too large of a file to upload.

So, there are some reasons to have a file upload size limitation requirement for some services. If I knew there was a limitation, I wouldn't have spent the time pushing files into the Encrypted container (Trucrpyt).

How can one truly be sure your data you send up to these 'cloud services' will not be 'accidentally erased' some day in a server glitch or some mishap that they come up with? Or, what about a rogue employee that is bent on getting fired, decides to snoop around in your files?

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen by Usama Jawad Microsoft Edge may not be the most popular browser out there, but it does receive quite frequent updates that sometimes bring surprising new features and axe others that are not as popular. Now, Microsoft has detailed some of the new security enhancements that it has introduced in Edge for Business, typically used by commercial customers. Microsoft has emphasized that security features are baked into Edge for Business and offer native integration with security and governance tools like Defender and Purview. Browser sessions are governed by default on managed devices but can also be governed through dedicated work profiles on unmanaged devices. An important aspect in this area is controlling the use of shadow AI. We have talked about this before, but it essentially restricts employees from using unsanctioned AI apps through data loss prevention (DLP) policies, with Edge redirecting them to trusted AI services like Microsoft 365 Copilot. This feature, available as a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) license, ensures that confidential data never exits AI boundaries set by your organization in Purview. Additionally, Microsoft also has strong DLP policies for contractors. Contractors leveraging a Entra ID-joined work profile provisioned by their contracting company on a device managed by their actual employer can be restricted from downloading files locally. In such scenarios, the file is saved on the contracting firm's OneDrive rather than being downloaded locally. Another useful Edge security feature disallows copying and pasting from unmanaged locations and apps. Similarly, DLP policies can be configured at a granular level to restrict screenshots or downloading of files from certain locations. In the same vein, IT admins can block the installation of extensions, hosted apps, themes and scripts, and control if users can install extensions from external locations. They can also enable the installation of specific extensions and allow users to request access to certain extensions, so that they can be managed on a case-by-case basis. Finally, Edge for Business now has an on-device AI model that uses computer vision to see what's on your screen and block potentially malicious content immediately. This does not rely on site reputation, as it simply monitors what is being displayed on your screen, which means that it is effective against malicious content that takes over your screen and employs scareware tactics. Since this is an on-device AI model, it does use your system's resources, so it's enabled by default only on devices with at least 2GB of RAM and four CPU cores. You can find more details in the Microsoft Mechanics video here.
    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start

      Could you come up with a slightly less depressing background for Tux instead of that gray gradient? Doesn't have to be cheerful, just less of a downer...
    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.

      Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?
