Livedrive Launches Unlimited Online Storage

Livedrive has today announced the launch of its revolutionary online
storage service.

Livedrive allows customers to store all their files - including office
documents, photos, videos and any other type of file online instead of
on their computer's hard disk. Andrew Michael, CEO, commented:

"60% of people now have more than one computer. With a growing number
of people having more than one device - such as a desktop computer, a
netbook and PDA - it no longer makes sense to store files individually
on each device. People want all their files together in one place that
is accessible from any device."

Online storage is an industry forecast to grow 500% by 2012 (source:
Gartner). Livedrive acquired over 1 million users during the public
beta programme and offers many benefits over traditional storage:

Access files from anywhere, on any device - no more e-mailing
files to yourself or using USB sticks;
Data is stored in carrier grade data centres and backup up - if you
lose your computer you don't lose your files;
Work online - Livedrive provides a web portal where users can
open,view and edit most common files, including Microsoft Office
documents, from any computer with an Internet connection; and
Unlimited storage - Livedrive is the only company offering
unlimited storage, meaning customers will never run out of space.

Unlike other online storage providers, which are purely web-based,
Livedrive offers customers a unique software application that can be
installed on any computer, allowing them to access their Livedrive
storage as a normal drive -just like a USB stick or external hard
drive. Andrew Michael commented:

"If people are going to use online storage, they need to be able to
view their files, create files and save files on their computer, just
like they do with their normal hard drive. We are first to market with
a working service that allows people to do this. Our customers get an
'L:' drive where they can access all their online files directly.
Google have been rumoured to be working on a product called Gdrive for
years that does this - our product is available today."
