MyOtherDrive.com Gets Upgrade For Photos

23 Dec, 2006, 4:07 pm IST | by Priyanka Pradhan | Windows

Ohio firm, ByteRocket, has just released a major upgrade to its Web-based file sharing service, MyOtherDrive.com. The free 5GB hard drive with an Internet Explorer -style interface, now provides storage as well as the ability for users to share full size original photographs, music and videos, along with files and documents in PDF.

MyOtherDrive.com users may also use privacy settings, to specify who can access the files on their site. The portal allows its users to add their customized groups, or make all their content public. In addition, the 'invitation by email' feature, builds a "Friends" list out of the users’ social network. Users may also email out a hyperlink to others that lets them view pictures, even if they are not a member of MyOtherDrive.com.

The site runs as a Java applet, similar to the Microsoft Windows Explorer or ACDSee, which allows the user to create a folder "hierarchy" on one side of the screen, with a list of files on the right. Future enhancements to MyOtherDrive.com include more "social networking" features, such as blogging, photo/video tagging, and friends search.
