RSSAOL Opens Up Xdrive
By the Betanews Staff | Published June 13, 2007, 5:35 PM
AOL said it is opening up the APIs for its free Xdrive service to allow developers to incorporate the service into their applications. Consumers are given 5GB of space to upload any type of content they wish, with an option to upgrade to a 50GB account for $9.95 per month. AOL says that the API allows use of Xdrive in both web and desktop applications.
"Rich media management and online storage increases engagement. Giving consumers the ability to share their media assets help Website owners build awareness and increase their audience," said David Liu, Senior Vice President of AOL Portals. The API is available from the AOL Developer Network, Liu said.

|I couldn't find any info on the XDrive API, but this would be very useful. Strongspace.com supports scp/sftp, which is much more convenient, and if XDrive could be accessed with something other than the Web page or the Desktop app (which was really horrible when I tried it 6 months ago, but now I'm running Linux so I can't use it even if it's gotten better), its value would increase dramatically.

|Please someone create a backup app that replaces the AOL one.
BTW, can anyone tell me if AOL now supports drive mapping now?

|Sounds interesting - I'm just not too sure of practical uses, in a sense.

|Doesnt matter how much space, how much Bandwidth do you get? If I get 1 TB of space but the download speed is 10 k per second.. its useless.
