"This is a nice software! A lot of us using it here!"
Version: ADrive beta
Pros
It has the largest of all the "hard disk webware" and it's easy to use.
Cons
The only improvement we wish with it I guess is that it would upload and download faster.
Summary
Great work ADrive team, please build our trust through keeping our files in safety no matter what. Thanks.

"Backup heaven"

"Lots of space but HARD to use!"
Version: ADrive beta
Pros
50 GB free.. I don't know how they do that. Very generous of them.
Cons
-No software for automatically backing up data.
-Java uploader has given me errors
-Basic uploader causes IE to say "page cannot be displayed" if I try to upload multiple files at once
-Can't upload folders - need to manually zip all your data before uploading
-2 GB limit per file <-- now you have to split your ZIP file into backup.zip.1, backup.zip.2 etc
So if you tire of zipping, splitting and uploading all your data every week, then what's the point of backing uppp.....??
What if only a few (crucial) files on my comptuer changes? Now I need to update my zip by hand or zip all over again, and inevitably split the zip again BOO

"The Best Site For Online Storage"
Version: ADrive beta
Pros
I've tried tons of Online storage sites like dumpplace.com, omnidrive.com, divshare.com, and many others but this is the best. Nothing compares; Divshare has very limited storage space and max upload file size, Dumpplace is troublesome in the free version, and Omnidrive has signup issues. So I have next to no complaints with Adrive. With 50 Gigabytes of free storage and 2 gigabytes per upload Adrive is at the top of the food chain.
Cons
The only thing it could possibly improve on is adding the feature of a desktop drive like omnidrive.

"Incredible.."

Pros
First time use ADrive, found it was very useful for those user with slow sending file to your friends thru messenger or thru email,you guys may after uploaded and ask ur friends/relatives login to your account and download file that you uploaded :) 50GB more than everything coz it was free! It's enough for your to host ur file ;) and the uploading speed faster compared with other server.
Good job ;)

"Finally a great online storage service"
Version: ADrive beta
Pros
After I had a hard drive die last year I thought "it's time to find online storage to back up my important stuff". I saw this review and decided to give it a shot. A month after I joined, my stinkin hard drive crashed again. BUT, no worries because I backed up all my important stuff to ADRIVE!! WOO HOO! They saved my arse. Great service... keep up the good work.
Cons
It used to be that they don't offer support for special and/or international characters but, I emailed their support and now they do.

"Excellent remote storage & backup solution."
Version: ADrive beta
Pros
Easy to use; free; 50GB is more storage space than any other remote storage service I have used; easy to navigate; generally reliable upload process; upload speed is not as slow as the other services I have used.
Cons
Would like more information regarding security features; encryption, etc. McAfee SiteAdvisor does not show this as a green site. Shazou shows Berkeley, CA as the site origination location but no information as to domain ownership. The 50 GB storage is free and there are no ads - how do these people make any money?

"File limitations, slow upload, no upload render this useless!"
Version: ADrive beta
Pros
50GB is VERY generous
Cons
Slow to upload. Just spent HOURS "uploading" just under 1GB and the files "disappeared"! Limit of 1GB upload at a time combined with slow speeds means you can't just add all the files you want to upload and then walk away. No batch download is also ridiculous. This "service" is NOT READY. This is definitely a BETA. Hopefully the will improve it and make it usable.
