Killing Outlook: Storage  − 1 January, 2007 - 26 March, 2007

It became apparent that I did something right by buying my mac recently. It would have not been as easy if I didn't already use some applications to ease the transition. A while back I blogged about a new service I am using to keep an online storage space for my music. It's called Oboe Locker from MP3Tunes. I first found out about the service because I was looking for a way to backup my computer online. At the same time I found it and Streamload's MediaMax, which will store files of any type for you. Both are for-fee services. Both have open API's. Both are San Diego companies. So I immediately became a fan of both.

Why two storage services? Music is different. I very much want one service to keep my iTunes at home at work and on my wife's PC all coordinated. MP3tunes does that.

MediaMax is just an easy way for me to archive my files - no matter the format. I keep all of my client work backed up there. And when I had a PC it had a desktop app that would automatically keep my designated folders backed up online. Handy. It's the cheapest storage service out there too, which is nice considering the performance is stellar.

Now that I am on the Mac, it's going to be harder to commit to MediaMax. Especially since Omnidrive seems to want to be my Mac-friendly, Open API alternative. Stay tuned for that.
