Xdrive : Needs Help Right Away

Wow - hard to imagine that a company whose SOLE Purpose for existing is to provide reliable storage via the web can't solve a problem, not in 24, not in 48 , not in 72 hours, heck - I've had a problem reported since December 9th and they still hadn't resolved it.

I was told by Tony today that there were hundreds, if not thousands of people ahead of me in the support queue.

WOW! - all I can say to people is

STAY AWAY from xDrive.

The concept is solid - the implementation is not. It simply DOES NOT WORK. I've already lost $90 because I let them say "we're working on it" - no more.

If you want to try their free trial, go for it - but don't bother signing up for it. It will disappoint or worse, you will lose your files that they say have been saved.

I had 1 gig of saved family videos from the very first day that I have never been able to retrieve. This company is a great example of Web -1.0.

Their support group follow their steps - they try to be helpful but in the long run, they can't help a sinking ship. If you use it, get out now - if you can get your files, consider yourself one of the lucky ones.

I have TRIED to X-drive for over 2 years now. Am I stupid or what? After being told too many times "we are in the process of upgrading, blah blah blah, clear your cache, do this, do that,,," I have finally got smart and switched over to WEB DRIVE Software. This software costs 50.00 to install and with an FTP site I am so happy - its always up and running, it doesnt time out, it doesnt lose my important files, etc....I needed Xdrive to transfer large medical video files and paperwork - it was the least expensive web based service out there and you didnt have to sign away your life. Well now I see why. I deserve all back refunds for the unreliability, pain and suffering Xdrive has caused me. DO NOT PURCHASE X-drive! Today it might work, tonite it wont. tomorrow it won't - you might get lucky and get logged in this weekend but I doubt it.

I upgraded my free Xdrive account to Premium ($99 for a year) and guess what: Now I can not log into my account! Worked fine until I paid the $. Tech support worked with me for some time with good effort and attitude but, ultimately, he just gave up: Looks like it should work on their end and no answers for me. Now I'm facing getting my $ back and abandoning my files. Xdrive burned me!

Blogs and RSS come to Microsoft.com

MS has just introduced their portal and it's pretty comprehensive. Nothing quite like learning that some people use AIM instead of MSN messenger, or that there really may be a need for supporting 4 monitors ( Cyrus Complains ) However, it's really a great sign that MS is serious about supporting the blogging community which seems to have um, exploded in size in the past year.

FoxInCloud Stats

FoxInCloud sent this link a while back about their statistics regarding visits to their site: http://foxincloud.com/blog/2017/12/27/VFP-community-lessons-from-foxincloud-site.html What's interesting here is the breakdown of people. Yes, I think it's understandable that the Fox community is getting older. Another factor is the growth of the mobile and web environments taking over development. These environments really do push people towards the newer non-SQL or free SQL/hosted environments but more towards hosted storage options like Amazon and Google. A tool like FoxInCloud that helps MOVE existing applications to the cloud inherently competes with those environments. But FoxInCloud also allows developers to extend their application further by giving them a starting point using Javascript and the basic CSS (such as Bootstrap). If you're not rebuilding your application from scratch, it's certainly a great step forward. FoxPro VFP

Facebook Revolt - imeem alternatives?

When Scoble noted how Facebook under major revolt , I immediately thought of a site I found yesterday. The value offered by Facebook's feeds however do seem very cool - if only they had been smart and made them opt-in, instead of opt-out. I have been impressed though with Facebook's opening of their API's - they certainly get it that they need to open it up to developers. I haven't really explored this other site, beyond my first look. In some ways, I think the whole social networking site thing is just silly , but this site (imeem) definitely showed some value. I could find music (as posted by the artist), it worked in Firefox and it allowed people to rank, add to delicious and more. And when I'm looking at someone, I can see what they're up to (or rather what they allow us to see). Anyways, you may want to check it out.
