We’ve heard nothing but shocking news from AOL the last few weeks, free email, free online access, and today 5000 employees being laid off. Today we also are getting word on a new free service that all of us can take advantage of from the fine folks at AOL. Free 5 gigs of online storage.
AOL today announced that, starting in early September, it would make 5 GB of online storage available for free to all Web users. The storage offering, powered by AOL’s award-winning Xdrive service, will allow users to back up important files like photos, documents, music, videos, and more. Users will be able to access their files from any PC or mobile device with a Web connection, share them with others by granting file/folder permission, move them via easy drag-and-drop tools, automatically back up important files or folders, and auto-upload any e-mail attachments they receive via major providers. There will be no charges for user to upload or download.
The new free 5 GB storage offering will be available to any users with an AOL or AIM screenname starting in early September. You can find out more and get more links to the story at The Download Squad
