Google just made lives of about 7 startups (that I know of anyway) absolute hell. :( Everyone knew the day was coming (remember Lighthouse in 2004?) but everyone hoped Google forgot about it ;).

  I think that the "Try not to make something that Google would use internally" rule strikes again...

do you know how much of a fucking heart attack that link just gave me?? haha. but this doesn't look like platypus (the real gdrive); just the ability to buy more storage for gmail, picasa et al. (not saying gdrive isn't coming, but this ain't it.)

  Yeah, if anything, the fact that the Gmail free quota is still stuck at 2.8GB shows that they're getting complacent and making bad product decisions.

  drew, as a beta user, I would say that until google buys dropbox and offers it as a download, (or makes something similar to the seamless updates that dropbox offers) I wouldn't worry :~).

I have been an enthusiastic DriveHQ user for almost 2 years. Their service is great! All GDrive features are long available and better on DriveHQ.com. Visit www.drivehq.com and watch the demo. # Backup. DriveHQ Online Backup works great. It has a lot of high-end features, much better than GDrive, including versioning, scheduled backup, encrypted storage, compressed upload, incremental backup and resuming, etc. # Sync. DriveHQ FileManager can sync multiple PCs, multiple user accounts. # VPN-less access. You can access your data from anywhere using a web browser, any FTP client, or DriveHQ Client software, or SMTP/POP3 email with Outlook! # Collaborate. DriveHQ Group Account service is a true enterprise class collaboration platform. You can easily share folders to different people with different access rights. DriveHQ Group Account owner / admin can create/manage/delete sub-accounts. # Disconnected access. On the plane? VPN broken? All your files are still accessible as DriveHQ FileManager can cache the data for offline access! DriveHQ even offers SMTP/POP3 emails for offline Outlook access with unlimited email storage! DriveHQ offers basic service for free. So why the wait? Sign up at: http://www.drivehq.com/?refID=2925384 http://www.drivehq.com/?refID=2925384
