Adrive for the space hungry

Hello Readers (the very very few of you),

I just want to write a quick review of Adrive.com
It is still in beta, but they have very few little kinks to work out.
They offer 50GB of space just with email sign-up. No offers, coupons, plans, combos, or anything of that sort.It is pretty much the best thing out there in my opinion due to the following features.

- 2gb upload limit on single file
- able to upload multiple files
- no limit on either download or upload speed (therefore it is only limited by your ISP connection or traffic)
- Ability to share file much like Google DOCS where it generates a unique link for every file you choose to share

Every other site of this type that I know of has speed limits and very low upload limit s for single files (on the order of 100-500 MB). One very minor issue that they should work out is their upload program. It is not like other websites where you have to download a separate program, but rather it is a java application that runs in the browser. Therefore, you must have a java virtual machine installed on your computer. Also, if you are using firefox or opera (or any other browser that uses tabs), it locks up all the tabs in the window where you are uploading files. Very minor issue because you can just open a new window and upload there.

Overall, great product. Jump on it before they stop giving out free accounts.
