"Streamload®, a leading provider of online digital media services, today announced worldwide availability of Streamload MediaMax, the world’s largest online media center. Streamload MediaMax offers a suite of services that allow users to centrally store, organize, access, and share their personal media collections online. As of today, subscribers can now get the standard Streamload MediaMax account with 25 GB of online storage and access to five integrated media-sharing and locker services free. Users may upgrade to industry leading 250 GB of online storage space for $9.95 per month."



There are lots of photo sharing services out there, but this new service seems to be going for the whole enchilada and allows you to store your entire media collection. It will be interesting to see if some of the photo sharing services add video to their repertoire.

Streamload is an old timer.. and it's primary use hasn't changed either, that being illegal trading of movies and games. ^^ You could concievably use it as a backup service, and while they don't guarentee your files, its a remote storage site and that would be good enough for most. But internet speeds are worse then 802.11b, if you want central storage, theres a plethora of wired and wireless network drives you can get. And if you want to access your personal media at work.. online is the quickest way to a pink slip.

I'm not sure but I think their "angle" is to not duplicate files on the servers. Meaning that if I upload Justin Timberlake's latest album, it won't actually upload, I'll just be granted access to someone else's upload of that album.

Kind of iffy in my mind.

the chances of any content you create being bit-for-bit perfect with anything anyone else has is incredibly small, and pretty much only happens if you both illegaly obtained it from simular sources.

I remember this online storage service which is similar to the one mentioned here.

It can store music/ video files and has the ability to stream and play them using a media player. You can generate a share link for a particular media file/ folder and mail it across to your friends.

This service can also be used as a good photo sharing facility. The image gallery view will let you view your photo images as thumbnails. Clicking on thumbnails will take you to a magnified view of your images, you also have an option to run a slide show.

This service is widely used by many individuals and corporates, it has won many awards too. This service is quite popular among online storage products.

Yeah, but the problem is their prices:

$500 USD a year for 25 GB of storage space? Yikes!

Your post sounds a lot like an advertisement for them... :?
