I’ve only looked at this about a month… so many problems with their interface… its clunky windows software is very faulty. Their forums clearly have unhappy users!! And support is almost non existent even though they claim 24 hour support. I gave up on them.

Overall I gave it about a 1.. why?

I was with them almost 7 months… some user pointed out they had no encryption and posted their proof on the public forums when they existed.. they ignored the post!! A few months later they deleted the forums and made new private ones.. and released a new client with the option to disable encryption… I requested a refund since they were unable to prove it worked prior to that release… they accepted…

I used this service for about 6 months with only brief periods of satisfaction, before I demanded and got a refund. The service is an exercise in finding workarounds to make up for features that don’t work the way they should. Their support forums are full of people complaining about files that never upload, files that are missing, or files that are corrupted. Their claimed 24 hour support is an auto-reply. Most of my bug reports never got resolved or took months for an update that addressed them. They’ve hired a high-dollar PR firm to design a fancy web site and make lots of claims, but reality bites big time.

Features sound good but most don’t work. No security (although claimed), non-existent support. Good when it works I suppose.

Ive been using Livedrive for sometime now. Ive tried others like box.net and dropbox but Livedrive is on another level.

Everyone one day will be using a service like this.
