New online storage (videos, photos, docs etc) offering

Looks very good to me (and I'm not biased honest). 2GB of storage for free. 1GB limit on upload size. I've had a quick go and it's pretty slick.

Not to me

Those luddites at BT seem to have ignored the odd million or two Mac owners. :evil:

EDIT: OK - I can still have 2Gb ..useful for posting stuff for the forum.

Roger - the FAQ seems to suggest it works ok with Mac's. What doesn't work exactly?

Cheers

It's the backup manager that doesn't work. The free 2Gb is OK...

 

[gidon]

The backup service only works (both ways) if you the pay the subscription anyway.

And this bit....Customers who have taken the free Service acknowledge that unless they sign in to use the Service within any 90 day period the contract will deemed to have ended and any data stored will be deleted.

Dunno, but to me, I've got stuff backed up that I haven't needed for years... but that sounds like it'll catch more than a few people out.

Roll on Google Archive (well, gmail sort of is already), but no doubt they'll do something similar soon.

Wish I'd never mentioned it :roll:.
I wonder if they'll enforce that 90 days - little harsh I agree. But I can't see many people using a free service for serious computer backup.

It doesn't allow email addresses with hyphen or underline in such as [email protected] even though I have BT Broadband.......

Well I was quite interested up to that point... :wink: :wink: :roll:
