    hmmm...even more reasons to keep YOUR docs, pics, data ON YOUR OWN MACHINES, rather than some cloud-based option. HDD, DVD, USB sticks are all cheap enough these days, and your data is far safer :)

    I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple :D

    And so easy to share !!, we all know the risks with 'cloud' was hoping some could see the advantages. Guess some would always like to live in the past :D

    ^^^^^ not a case of living in the past, more a case of realising the true value these days is that of the DATA, rather than the hardware it's used on :)

    I was looking at Google Drive, and to be honest, I'm fine with Dropbox, it's simple, and does what it says on the tin. I can't really see any advantages that Drive has over Dropbox except for the increased space.
