Officially Throwing the Hat into the Ring...
Amongst us online storage junkies, there is a seminal blog, posted 1/31/2006 on Techcrunch, a roundup of online storage companies entitled "The Online Storage Gang":

I left the following post as a comment:
"Great post. Thanks to Michael and Adam for the research and evaluation.
However, a critical component missing from your review is the actual reliability of the services. Nearly every online storage user I’ve spoken to has at one point relayed their crushing frustration in waiting for a large transfer to complete, only to have the web/desktop software freeze, message cryptically (or not at all), then croak, leaving the user to start the process again.
As luck would have it, we’ve started a company that addresses this very concern, ElephantDrive (elephants… big, never forget, work for peanuts, get it?). Our platform provides a greater level of automation, transparency, fault-tolerance, and availability than I have yet to see in the marketplace. Admittedly, we don’t yet have the feature set boasted by some of the companies here, as we’ve chosen to focus on designing and deploying secure and extensible core architecture.
Our beta is open: http://www.elephantdrive.com/.
Come on over and back that azz up. "
Here we go!
