Unfortunately, that control is only an option with IE6 ... not with Firefox There is an activex control that allows dragging of groups of files (but not folders) which is nice.

Its not so special. But 5G is definetely nice. And the 50Mb limit per file could be annoying if you ever need to transfer an avi here and there. And there is no plugin that sits on windows for like gmail drive afaik. Been using it since beta.

Its just online storage. Looks like MS is catching up, but not with any real innovations that haven't already been implemented. Works ok for me nothing great to really get excited about….

You can creat private folders, public and "friend" folders (as far as i can tell, the interface is german for me, no idea what it's like in english). You can upload up to 5 files and play a silly game while uploading. Well actually you drag a ball in a square window and can watch that boring thing bounce off the walls as you let it go (yes i know, i shouldn't stress that thing, but it's what annoyed me). However the service is up and stable. One thing that caught my eye ist that it showes actual usage in 0,01GB steps, which is misleading (i uploaded a few torrents 103KB in total!). I'm using firefox and unlike other MS-services it works quite well. Please correct me if I'm wrong on anything I've stated. Hi I just tried it, works beautifully.
