Well I don't know if I can put this here... at this moment I think not it's ilegal, and can't be illegal, now it's do it whit all the permissions and legal base for working... really will be the same than before, but now , I read nobody and government can do something if don't change the laws... (and this cost a bit of money)

At least how personal Cloud, can be nice... totally full protected and I think don't have limit for Upload Files...!!! , perhpas in some months the servers are burning "Casualy".... =D
That looks like sendspace or we transfer.
I will check, hope they can hold a good upload speed.
Well I think this will be again Megaupload... for Upload I don't try nothing... but I suposse when this begin to works seriusly, into here will be all the internet... :blink:
ooh now I see. ;/ hehe
Upload speed is very, very slow unfortunately... A very large file (6GB) would take 12 hours...
I suposse this change in a near future now it's a Beta... I think we have to leave to pass the time... if before the service was paying and runs very fine (I never use, I use another things), perhaps in sometime this will be very very good cloud Service...
As long as uploads are quicker, it could be very popular - however, until then, things like Dropbox are the prefered storage type (even though you dont get much space :( )
Looks kinda good, though I'm happy with the cloud back up service I already use.
HAHA Mr. "BIG" DotCom back in Business !
One year ago -> bye bye Megaupload
Today -> Hi hi Mega
Currently it has some major security issues, sorry just a german link: http://www.heise.de/security/artikel/Mega-Facts-1789018.html
Btw. i dont understand that stupid 'cloud' thing, why in hell should i want to upload my personal data to some company's servers? Store it local (preferably on a pc without internet connection) is the better way to keep it save. And yes, security very often means a tiny bit less comfort. But maybe many people have forgotten this in times of facebook, cloud, etc...
In average, by the time one DVD is uploaded, fifty are burnt locally. :zzz:

I agree, cloud for me is just a cheesy market name. I guess most people use such to host pictures from their phone for facebook or similar.
I have a use for services like sendspace to transport temporary big files as it still can´t go by email.
Clients can´t socket transfer and I can´t bother making an FTP that 99% of market people have no idea how to use.
To be fair its more than a tiny bit less comfort to go without cloud storage. For example, to have everything important continuously backed up while you work, synchronised with people and devices you need to share it with and fully recoverable as older copies via versioning is enormously helpful. I mean, my data is far more to valuable to me that way than so secure it becomes hard to access. Some of us need to get things done, you know!

Thank you for this, sir! ::)
But why should it now not work the same way like it did in the last years? Syncing data locally is fine for a private user, but its no problem to have your own 'server' and storing your data there, you can even autosync and versioning your data this way, connect with a VPN to it. Its what thousands of companys and several privates have done over decades now, but it is not possible any more, it is necessary to throw all your data inside a big machine now? They just labelled a new name on an old technique and took all your data out of your control, this should be an improvement? Ok, its not my problem, maybe I should stop here. ;)

I think this guys are a paranoid people...
Sorry. I was being tired & moody. Bit burnt out this month.
Yes, so-called cloud services have been around for a long time. What has changed is the cultural shift from these mostly being the sphere of large organizations and enthusiasts who run their own private dedicated servers or pay a premium for them to everyone having access to a huge range of decent services over open networks. Quite quickly the benefits of cloud have become easy, ordinary and ubiquitous. That's a big deal.
Not saying its secure though, because, heh.
Clouds are amazing. Having a Dropbox folder is like having a personal assistant in 1995 that would keep all your stuff backed up on floppies, then backed them again and then burned on CDROM just for your convenience. All while not having to care one bit about it.
Embrace the technology people! :good:
And regarding the privacy concerns, I'm so tired of that lamenting... basically, no matter where you live, in whichever country, yes even the most free ones TM, your government already has more data on you than you could possibly provide them, even by giving them all your facebook, dropbox, mail passwords....
But ask not what your government knows about you, ask what you know about your government... that's where the real issues are.
The problem whit the free Cloud systems, are in some cases they have some clausules in the contracts, and some times they say , if you put something here in part it's property of this Cloud...
I think if you have something very interesting perhaps we have to get problems... For the daily use I think it's the best... basically I burn 3 HD in only a year and I don't feel very secure whit my HD in home, something simple like a very high voltage, can destroy all my info in a second...
The true this it's like tablets, another new name for a new mode... the Cloud, the same mail it's the cloud... and this can be happend make a lot of years, now for what?¿, another way for gain money... In some years we ear about the grapheno Computers and this it's inveted more 10 years ago... another time pay,pay,pay... Paypal =D
Today, there are cases where Twitter and Google identities obtained by law and it will be the cloud in the future.
Please Matchy, a brighter future please! :P
Don't trust the cloud services religiously, make your own backups too. You never know when the RIAA shows up and takes the whole cloud down because of someone sharing movies/music on a neighbouring data-center :-)
I have tried a few cloud services for a while now and I do have problems with some of them not bothering to transfer everything to the cloud. Quite annoying when you try to recover your stuff again after a harddrive failure I'm sure. Luckily I haven't had a drive failure since I started with cloud backup.
oh ok erico. :whistle: :-[
With iOS services like iCloud, it can be demonstrated as useful and safe.
I do use them but I am not a fan. Cloud services make reliant on someone else holding and protecting my backup data, which has never made me feel comfortable. Google lost half my emails once which caused me no end if bother. On top of that my net is pretty slow.
One thing it has going for it though is app integration, allowing more portability if your data.
Speaking about cloud storage services, there's currently a limited offer of 50GB space at Box.
