The iPhoneWriter.com team started the day today with an email message from the iCloud team at Apple Computer about the service we've been enjoying for the past several months. It seems that the recent mixup that resulted in some users receiving an extra 38 years before their iCloud Storage would expire has been addressed… officially.
Per the email message from Apple; "When you moved your MobileMe account to iCloud, we provided you with a complimentary storage upgrade beyond the standard 5GB that comes with an iCloud account to help you with the transition. Originally, this storage upgrade was set to expire on September 30, 2012.
As a thank you to our former MobileMe members, we will continue to provide you with this complimentary storage upgrade at no charge, for an additional year, until September 30, 2013. No action is required on your part…". The email then goes on to link readers to a support article on Apple's website, followed by the obligatory thank you for using iCloud.
So, what do you think? Is another year of freebie iCloud storage worth the price?
The iPhoneWriter.com team was recently in the age old predicament of needing to transfer data between two locations. So, we took Dropbox for a spin and we liked what we found.
For those that aren't already familiar with Dropbox, they provide a free service that lets users store their photos, docs, videos, etc. Once stored (uploaded/saved) to your Dropbox, files can be easily accessed from virtually any computers or smartphone, as well as the Dropbox website. Another great feature about Dropbox, which is why the iPhoneWriter.com team decided to give the service a try, is that Dropbox makes it easy to share files with other people. Plus, in the event of an unexpected computer catastrophe, having files stored with Dropbox is a great way to ensure they are backup up.
All things considered, the iPhoneWriter.com team found the Dropbox service to be worth every penny… after all, you get 2GB for free and more space is available for fairly reasonable monthly rates.
