[BBSA]

Will stick with Dorpbox thanks.

They have a South African version?

[snidge]

Is there a CityBox available?We don't all live in a dorp....

[DWPTA]

At least it's not a dopbox.......

[snidge]

I thought a DropBox is where you store your liquorice.

[Niren_M]

Adrive.com offers 50gb free storage.

Cool, I use dropbox but only have 5GB, now I will have 10GB. Can it be setup like dropbox i.e. a folder on my hardrive and automatically gets uploaded when I drop something in?

[Khyron]

Can you use this with local-only data?

[Yuu]

Can you use this with local-only data?

Yes , article says locally hosted.

Well done MWEB, another first that no other ISP has offered to its customers

[TJ99]

This is nice for the 5 MWEB subscribers still left that haven't jumped ship in the mass hysteria lately.

I'll stick with Drop**** for now though, despite the security flaws. It's auto-sync works quite nicely and theres an Android app as well.

Makes a lot of sense for Mweb - with all of the complains already about international bandwidth and the impending surge in cloud storage they can alleviate some of their load.

Can you use this with local-only data?

Do mweb offer local only access? Will it be readily accessible to mweb customers not using their mweb account?

[Khyron]

Yes , article says locally hosted.

That does not necessarily mean you can buy local-only data with Axxess for example, and use this to upload your data to your MWeb storage space.

If they REALLY want to make their customers smile, they should not subtract any data used for this from their allowance, ala WebAfrica FreeZone.
