I was not using any of the free online storage services ? Dropbox, Amazon Cloud Drive, Box.net etc. All I used was Gmail to store my files as attachments and that was enough for me. But I have tried Windows Live SkyDrive and Windows Live Mesh in the past even though I never used it. Why? Just because Microsoft has a branding problem. They offer similar services in different names. I hate that strategy. Microsoft offered 25 GB (now 7 GB) free storage via SkyDrive and another 5 GB via Live Mesh. And, SkyDrive didn?t have an app for desktop until recently. They finally came up with a desktop client for Windows and Mac. That?s not all! It even supports remote access ? so you can access your desktop files even if it?s not stored on your SkyDrive folder. So, I gave it a try. And yeah it was perfect. But wait! Google?s much awaited Google Drive (GDrive) has arrived. Now, I no longer need SkyDrive since Google Drive is deeply integrated with Gmail and so it?s much more feasible to use Google Drive instead of SkyDrive as I?m already using the 20 GB for $5/year plan by Google (which is no longer offered).
