Xdrive resigns.

January 12, 2009, AOL permanently closes the Xdrive project, and with it the BlueString project. Up to this point, all pre-registered users have the opportunity to download back their data.

Let me remind you that Xdrive was a network data store, like Microsoft SkyDrive. His biggest advantages were:

- 5Gb for free accounts.
Each registered user had the opportunity to store on the Xdrive 5 GB of data, without restrictions on the size of one file. Paid accounts naturally had more space.

- Ability to work with him as with a regular disk under Windows.
Yes, it was one of the biggest advantages. When you install a special program, your disk on Xdrive became visible in the "My Computer" window as a normal disk. It had its own letter (unlike GMailDrive) and it was possible to do any operations with it, as well as with a regular hard disk. It was very convenient for backups of various kinds and various automations.

Xdrive files can be downloaded via both the Web interface on the site and through the client software. Download all files from the BlueString system in their original format, you can through the same Xdrive (since both projects use a common platform)

I am very sorry that this service is bent.
I have not found an alternative to him so far. If someone knows, please prompt. The key features for me are 5 GB, the ability to assign a drive letter and the ability to upload a file there with a simple copy command.

UPD: Dear artleg suggested service LiveDrive . It seems that this is what you need. The only “but” is that it also stores files locally and synchronizes them with the server (judging by the possibility of “Work offline”). Perhaps she turns off - did not have time to look.
