Michael has made his much anticipated (at least to those of us in this business) online storage comparison post over at TechCrunch. Though we are familiar with the majority of these features and providers, a few of them caught our attention. OmniDrive looks like it has some cool things to offer, mostly regarding the live editing capabilities. We have not responded to this type of need yet, mostly because we want to understand compelling ways to edit common files online. For instance, the component of collaboration is very important - and Writely is already doing this better than we could ever do. We hope to offer such services in the near future, and a partnership with an already established provider would be a great way of adding this functionality. In the meantime, we’ll definitely be looking for good alternatives.

We’re very excited about where online storage is headed, and we plan to be continue as a major player. Be sure to keep up with your RSS reader, because Box.net is doing a full re-launch (with a 1gb free option) in a couple of weeks. We look forward to seeing you then!
