XDrive "API"
I applaud AOL for their efforts to open XDrive, even if it is a half step...
Hesitant to jump into developing on this platform for 4 reasons:
1. JSON (JavaScript) only.
2. Unclear pricing model. 5 GB for free is great, $9.95 for 50 GB is ok, no indication of anything beyond. Sites like www.elephantdrive.com and www.mozy.com are giving away unlimited storage at that pricing...
3. Don't see the incentive for AOL the media company to commit themselves to the platform. Who is to say this won't go the way of their dialup business?
4. XDrive's platform has been consistently inconsistent. As one of the earliest players in the space, I'm sure they've wrestled mightily with legacy systems. Perhaps that has changed now that they are part of AOL, but I'm reserving judgment until there is some empirical data.
S3 remains the champion...
