We learned that today, Gigmax is officially launching their Windows online storage service. Gigmax claims remote access, file sharing, and off-site backup as a few of their features.
Gigmax.com, LLC was established in August 2005 with the intent of making it easier for people to store and transfer files without having to carry around any tangible object, such as USB flash drives.
Also, rather than emailing files to yourself and then having a bunch of different emails with a bunch of different files, the goal of Gigmax.com was to have users just store all their files in one place.
You can get 2GB for free, or pay up to $24.99 / month for 150GB, with other options avilable in-between.
Gigmax’s “Community” section is interesting. There, you can see the most popular shared file, the top users, and stats on the various types of files shared. Currently, images, executibles, and a few mp3s are in the top 25 downloaded files.
While Gigmax lists off-site backup as a feature, the process isn’t automatic, like other online backup services. You can only save the files to your Gigmax drive, whereas services like Mozy or Backblaze will backup all of the data on your computer.
If you’re looking for some online storage space, Gigmax may be for you. Just be careful what files you have set as private, versus public.
