Finally! A place to stash all my kiddy porn so that teh FIBI won't find it.

I dunno how well this is going to work for backups. Typically, you're not backing up 1GB of data. Let's say I want to back up 40 gigs of music. I don't see very many people willing to maxout their upload stream for LOOOONG periods of time, when a normal HD backup is so much faster.

5.3 gb for each user on gmail + a cockload of extra to account for new accounts and then backup
then their web database + backups.
and now this.

that is a lot.


Not everyone is going to use all the sapce alloted to them. You can't think of it as physical drives. They probably spread data amongst people who haven't used all the available space to compensate for the people using the maximum amount.

True.

I just think the concept is good for backing things that I would access from other computers. I guess I can use a USB (I have a portable 250GB WD External HD thats the size of a really small wallet) but I don't always what to carry that around.

I actually have lots of different files and stuff saved in my gmail account as a draft file so I can download it whenever/wherever I need.
