    call me a suspicious old man, if you like, Tito,
    but i have my grave doubts about this new google
    product...

    i read a news article only this morning, i forget
    where alas, that by using this, you automatically
    agree that google may USE YOUR files in THEIR products..

    [imagine a movie you made with your camera going viral on
    youtube,..without your permission..
    ]

    if true, this is worse than useless for people who produce
    original files in the creativity or business line..

    i respectfully suggest you check out user agreements,
    eula, etc, very thoroughly, before using this..

    there are several established alternatives,
    where your files are safe from this, imho..
     
    Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand...

    Basically me too... ;)

    For MDL tools & bios mods = rghost
    For personal files = Skydrive

    :)

    How exactly does this rghost thing work, Tito? I checked and it allowed me to upload a file, listing me as anonymous. So can you create an account too? And what about..err..megaupload type of problems?

    Sorry for late reply... ;)

    Just like most of the file-hosting sites, you can upload as a guest (limited functionality), or create a free account (more functionality). Mostly simple interface, permanent link support (as release), picture preview support ~ so I like it. :)

    As long as I know, it is from Russia & so safe from US laws. :D
