Everyone keeps dreaming about Google entering an online storage market by releasing a Google Drive or GDrive product. That dreaming can become reality if Google decided to buy Mozy.com. Mozy.com is operated by Salt Lake City-based Berkeley Data Systems. They offer backup services for Windows Vista, Windows XP or Windows 2000. Mozy.com is in the process of creating a Mac version of their service. You can sign up for a free personal account that allows you to backup up to 2 gigs of data or you can sign up for an unlimited personal account that is $4.95 a month with no limits on how much you want to backup.
Besides the personal file backup options, Mozy.com has a business service too, MozyPro.com. Businesses can pay $3.95 per computer they want to backup, plus a $0.50 / GB per month storage fee. MozyPro.com just signed an agreement with GE (General Electric) this week for MozyPro to backup 300,000 GE employee PCs.
This would be a great company for Google to buy.

Hey Colin you could have use this opportunity to user your refer and get a few extra GBs |
I'm on a mac now so I can't use the service just yet. Good idea though. |
I have been using this service like for about a year (or something like that, since long long ago), although the backup is automated, but the upload/encrypting process stops a lot for no reason. Ayyy.
BTW, I think they said they are going to have a Mac version of it... (since forever) |
Wow that looks quite good. There are quite some players in this field and they do look really good. But, have you checked Divshare.com Even they are turning into a great file hosting service. |
Mozy.com just released their Mac client. Mike over at TechCrunch reported about this on April 25th.
