Well, I'm 21 years old, and live in Hartlepool. Main interests are of course, computers and the Internet. I also have a passion for music... well, any music from the late '80s. In fact, as I type this, I'm listening to T'Pau, but I probably shouldn't h...

Transferring files between computers can sometimes be problematic. Have you ever saved an important file to a disk or CDR, got it home and found that the disk is corrupt? Or maybe an important backup that has went wrong? I know I have. With most computers these days having some kind of Internet connection, having your own personal disk drive stored in the Internet is an excellent idea. You can upload your work on the night, get home, download it again and continue where you left off.
You start off with 25Mb. Although this doesn't sound like much, you can expand your amount by inviting friends and filling out consumer surveys. By this method, I have stretched my account size to a more-than-enough 82Mb.
The web interface is very neat and tidy and also relies less on JAVA applets than certain other online storage sites. This means that editing, moving and deleting files is far quicker.
you can also store additional information on the files you have stored, and if it's a picture, even view it online.
It is also possible to share your folders with friends, family and co-workers, again eliminating the need for storage media. They will receive an email confirming that you are sharing a folder with them, and a link to where they can view it. Of course, for security, they can only wiew the folders (and subfolders) you have allowed them to see. If they have a Driveway account too, they can copy the files to their own.
The possibilities for use are endless, whether you just want to backup important files or have your own online photo album to show your family, Driveway is the easy and fast way to do it.
