    ICEDrive - alternate to OneDrive/Dropbox?

    I stumbled upon a bit of an online storage gem. And a good old Brucey bonus they're based in Wales (servers probably aren't but it's a start).
    What do you guys think on this, too good to be true?

    www.icedrive.net

    I like the idea of a one time purchase like the good old days. The initial cost is a bit expensive, but over the course of say 5 years you'd be saving a packet vs Dropbox.
    No idea how sustainable they are, or whether the company will be around in 5 years, let alone a weeks time but Paypal might cover you to a degree here?

    There's a couple of interesting features, I like the fact it can look like a local drive on your PC as opposed to a folder on your drive somewhere. And similar to Mega (from the glorious Kim DotCom), they don't have access to your data which I like.

    Very tempting now HDD's have skyrocketed in price

    The bandwidth ratio on the low and medium offerings are not great.

    OneDrive can be mapped as a network share using WebDav...The last time I tried it, anyhow. Haven't tried any of the other cloud offerings. Business Essentials gets us an Exchange server and a TB of OneDrive for a couple quid a month.
