OT - Cloud storage

[Earl Grey]

Just stumbled across a cloud storage site called Mega (Beta).
http://mega.co.nz/

Presumably the beta bit means it's not fully developed yet but at the moment they're offering 50GB storage for free.

Now others have offered huge storage for new users free of charge like Box (http://www.box.com) but they've now withdrawn that and you have to build up using referrals etc.

But Mega have 50GB for free and now. The site looks a little dodgy. See the 'about us' page.........

......the picture looks like a quartet of Chainrai's mates, faces blanked out as they are.

And the terms and conditions make it clear your data is your responsibility and they can't be held to account if they accidentally lose it.

However, if you want 50GB for free with no file-size limitations, it may be a risk worth taking.

Personally I use Dropbox and SugarSync plus other bits and bobs via SkyDrive and Google Drive.....but I'm testing out Mega.

The design group includes someone called Kim Dotcom. Really?

This is from the people who brought you MegaUpload, the file-sharing phenomanananonen that made our Mr Dotcom a squillionaire.

Although, tbf, his wealth didn't go to his head.
