Eggdisk may not be a service that you have heard about before but they are offering quite an amazing deal. If you sign-up for a free account before September 1st you will receive 4GB of storage and a 150MB filesize limit instead of the normal 2GB of storage and 100MB filesize limit.
It is obvious from the site that their goal is to make money off of Adsense but you can’t really complain when you don’t have to pay for anything. You’ll also receive 30GB of bandwidth to transfer your files.
You can upload images without even creating an account but once you register you’ll also be able to upload files with the following extensions:
jpg, jpeg, png, gif, bmp, txt, mp3, wav, mov, wma, wmv, rar, zip, tar.gz, swf, xml, xspf, flv, m3u, asf, 7z, rm, esp, avim, flac, ogg, bsp, res, mdl, spr, wad, tga, doc, ppt, wrl, mp4, aac
Unfortunately there is no EXE or PDF support which would probably be some common files that people would upload. Still pretty great even though I couldn’t find any kind of privacy statement…so you might want to be selective at what you upload.
Another great short-time-great-deal learned from you. Thanks!
Wow, now the deal has changed: 6GB, not 4GB! Be quick, as September 1 is almost here.
Holy cow…they just keep going!
Yeah! And it is MIDNIGHT GMT on Septembe 1, so you have he entire day and most of the night, too.
Just checked this out and still offering 6GB of space for free.
I do not like the one at a time selection for upload or else zip everything and do it in batches.:twisted: Hopefully XDrive site will be working again soon…
I received this email now:
Dear EggDisk user,
… If you write a review about EggDisk on your blog, MySpace, Facebook, Friendster, Blogger, WordPress.com, or message board; or if you put EggDisk into your permanent Blogroll (link list), then we will add a 1 Gigabyte of free file storage to your already generous free 6GB account. Yes, 7 gigs of free space for our very special friends. …
Gee not more than a few minutes after reading the above comment I get the same e-mail. I forgot I had even setup an account with them…wonder if I put anything over there
I’ve tried to store 100 GB of my files, music and videos at an online storage provide like Flipdrive and Mediamax. Does it really work during day-to-day usuage? How much does it cost? Can it replace your local harddrive(s)? Check out my report at my blog if you’re interested.
