    2GB free was impressive in the past but it if fairly standard and not very useful now. Most people use a lot more than 2GIGS and offering 2gigs doesn’t make an entrant stand out in the market place. I rekon as per the Backupanytime Who’s who in data, 5 gigs free is a must to entice unless the per gig price is negligable or the service offering is very different to mainstream online backup.

    Does anyone know how to mount the disk to the Finder without the plug in? I want the drive to mount every time I log onto my computer, but I can only do that through the application. I found the address that the server connects to (”Get Info” on the “Files” drive) but whenever I type in my username and password in the popup it says the password or user name is wrong. I know both are correct but maybe the iDrive company tags something onto the username that I don’t know about?
    What can I do?
