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

Thanks, I got your referral, next poster PM email to next in line :)

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.

Yeah I have 25gb on Skydrive don't need this at the moment but I will still sign up!

:D lol, I think I have 50GB on BOX, 25GB on SD, 12GB on this, and a few other box and skydrive accounts with a few more GB

EDIT - Oh yea, and another 50GB on adrive.com

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?

    • Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels Users should be able to fully uninstall AI-based features from Android devices and be able to access interoperability functions, free from Google’s verification requirements, the European Commission has heard as part of an Android interoperability consultation under the Digital Markets Act. These measures were proposed by the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) last week when it submitted its documentation. The FSFE noted that Google had started silently installing AI models without telling users. It noted that the EU’s DMA requires companies like Google to allow users to uninstall pre-loaded software from their devices, but in the case of the AI models Google is installing, they reinstall if you delete them, contravening the DMA. To get Google back under control, the FSFE has told the European Commission that there needs to be improvements within the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). First, it said that users should be able to fully remove pre-loaded AI components from their devices, with companies being prohibited from silently reinstalling or reactivating them. Second, access to Android interoperability features should not be contingent on registration, authorization, or contractual relationships with Google. This pertains to Google’s attempt to force developers to register with Google, even to publish apps to alternative app stores like F-Droid. Discussing its submission, Lucas Lasota, FSFE Legal Programme Manager, said: Google is planning to roll out its Android Developer Certification in September 2026. This will force every Android app developer to register with Google before their software can be installed on certified Android devices, but it should affect those who have removed Google Apps from their device. The program is controversial because it entails the signing of contracts and payment of account fees to Google, as well as the handing over of the identities of developers. It said: The FSFE said that if the Commission’s draft measures remain unchanged, then Google will be allowed to make developers verify their identity. The FSFE believes that asking developers to register is contrary to the text and spirit of the law. In summary, the FSFE has told the Commission that no developer should need a Google account, a Play Store presence, or any agreement with Google to access Android’s interoperability features.
