Yes I was seduced by the thought of extra space in hyperspace so signed up. I have regretted this move for 3 months now. Maybe I am stupid or maybe I have an internal error in my system but I have had to rebuild my computer to get rid of the all pervading fingers of X-Drive throughout my system. X-Drive promised me 25Mb of extra storage for free. This comes with a small programme you have to download so your computer can access this extra storage. But this opens up your registry from all sorts of system files to the net and, no doubt, provides X-Drives advertisers with information about you so that they can insert advertising into many of your applications. I disagree with this philosophy of computer snooping as a rule but when the advertising started sending my virus checker into hyperdrive warning me about every known trojan in the world I started to get freezes throughout my system. I have only just recovered and it has necessitated 2 rebuilds to get out of jail. I cannot tell you why Norton and X-Drive did not like each other. The use of trojans by some advertisers is a deplorable act. So I cannot recommend this product. There are some good points. These are the fact that you can store large files on the net rather than on your computer. But is 25 Mb worth it? I suspect not. If I thought about it most computers have now 40 or 60 Gb storage capacity that is readily available at lightning spedd from your processor. What advantage, therefore, can 25 Mb available through your slow old modem possible be. I am not sure. All I can say ais that X-Drive has some powerful advertising to make this seem like an attractive option.
