Unlimited Online Storage: Livedrive

I think most web users know about Microsoft Live offers a free online storage that called Skydrive, it gives you 25GB online storage. If I tell you Livedrive offers unlimited online space maybe you confused about that. I tell you this web service based on GB, it is totally different between two companies.

Livedrive uses two ways to access online storage: one is to use web based upload interface, it gives you a web page like that yourname.livedrive.com. Another way is access the storage via an L: drive on local hard drive, you have to download a small software to do that function.

I had check this service, it does not mention if service free or payment service on front page, after I signed in an account I did not find any price for payment account. Only thing I found it mentioned 30 day free trial on Terms of Service. It seems strange.

I also tried this service, I only test web based upload speed that it was so slow. I have no idea who want pay money for this kind of service.

我想大部分网络用户都知道微软Live提供一个免费的25GB网络硬盘叫Skydrive，如果我告诉你Livedrive提供一个无限制空间的网络硬盘的话可能会让你觉得有点迷惑不解。我告诉你这个网站基于英国，它与微软毫无关联。

Livedrive使用两种方法进入网络硬盘：一是使用在线界面进行上传下载文件，它会给你一个专用网页如yourname.livedrive.com；二是使用一个软件在你的电脑上增加一个L: drive，这样你可以上传下载文件如本地硬盘一样。

我查了这个网站，它并没有在首页上告知它是否免费或者收费服务。在我登陆一个账户后也没有发现任何有关费用，唯一能查到的是在它的服务条列中提到30天的试用期。这点让人感到有点蹊跷。

我也试用了它的服务，我仅仅测试了它的在线上传速度，非常慢。我不知道是否有人愿意支付一定的费用来使用如此慢的服务。
