Re: Alternative for Xdrive
I use Box.net, but a single file can't exceed 5 MB in size. So go for Microsoft's Sky Drive.

Re: Alternative for Xdrive
Skydrive - Give it a try
Download managers supported, multiple file download possible, hotlinking possible (check with their T&C, I couldn't find anything against it though), have plugin for IE etc.
An old thread here - Introducing Windows Live SkyDrive!

Re: Alternative for Xdrive
BTW, Skydrive will be introducing quite range of new features. 25 GB space & zipped downloads are 2 of them.

Re: Alternative for Xdrive
@thewisecrab and n6300
Dropbox is good. Simple and fast interface,no ads and desktop client for mac and linux apart from one for windows to upload/view files. You can download a folder in zipped folder and revisions are also saved.
And you can download a file directly without opening any webpage and clicking on download as you need to do with most other services.

Re: Alternative for Xdrive
^^
Thanks for the answer ThinkFree
More Questions:
How much space do you get?
Are there any limitations (like in free/paid. Or is it only free) ?

Re: Alternative for Xdrive
You get 50GB if you pay a hefty fee of $99 a year.

Re: Alternative for Xdrive
^^Dropbox will be working faster as compared to skydrive if you have a slower connection as it's interface hardly contains any images or flash content.
