You know about online storage. There’s box, mozy, carbonite, xdrive, et al. They’ve evolved from Gmail to your basic high priced online storage site to storage with sharing and lots of Web 2.0 goodies and free space. Here’s another one to add to your list: Free Drive. Like the rest of the flock, Free Drive offers storage, lots of it—up to 20 GB—but it’s got an edge over the others. FreeDrive has actually gone the social networking route. It’s designed for people who use MySpace or Facebook. There’s even a Facebook app you can add. A free account will get you 1 GB of storage. You can choose keep them private, share them with friends, or go all out and make them public for the world to see. The site itself has a YouTube vibe, with a choice of tabs ranging from ‘My FreeDrive’ to
‘The Public FreeDrive’. There’s communities and all the content is searchable with keywords and tags. Simply create a profile and get sharing.
“FreeDrive is a personal storage and file sharing service designed for users of social networks, such as Facebook, MySpace and Bebo. With just a single FreeDrive account, users can access both their own files and their friend's files from within any social network they happen to be on. By focusing exclusively on building a service to support social networks, FreeDrive makes it easier then ever for friends to share files between friends.”
FreeDrive works well if you social network especially if you use Facebook. It makes it easier to share content with a host of your peers. It’s got a good community built around itself as well?
What makes FreeDrive better than other sites? Why not offer more storage for free? Will users actually pay for more?
