i-drive
CNET rating: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 best
The good: Schedules syncs between i:drive and your PC; lets you collect Web pages and save them to your storage site; 50MB storage allowance.
The bad: Won't open online files from within desktop apps; slow to complete many tasks, such as opening folders.
The bottom line: i-drive's synchronization skills are superb, great for when you need access to up-to-date files or want to share data with others. But if you need to access online files from inside applications, go with X:drive or netdrive instead.
CNET Review
(7/5/00)
By Gregg Keizer
If absolute control is your bag, you'll love i-drive. You set the schedule by which i-drive synchronizes files on your PC with those on the Web. Plus, i-drive gives you total control over which files and folders you share and with whom. But because i-drive's missing a way to access online files from within applications, it's not a good fit for all-around, everyday use. For that kind of functionality, sign up with X:drive or netdrive instead.
