Google Drive

Google Drive launched today

My initial impressions:

  • No direct download links (+1 for DropBox)
  • Easier to “Get Link” in DropBox
  • Can’t sync a folder on my tablet to it (need to use FolderSync - but be careful when you do) (+1 to SugarSync)
  • Cheap(ish) (If DropBox had cheaper prices it would make the decision harder)
After a few days
  • It’s OK. Do miss some features from DropBox
  • Would like to see FolderSync keeping up with this.
  • Would like to see some improvements and ideas taken from both DropBox and SugarSync

But enough for me to make the switch? Not just yet. How about you?

Everything’s Changing!

Here goes my first Tumblr rant!
I’ve just noticed recently, everything on the internet seems to be changing!
First - Facebook revamps the whole Profile to the new Timeline design, then Google goes and ditches its bar, and now YouTube redesigned their channels.

New Facebook Profiles - Timeline

Admittedly, I wasn’t exactly a fan of it when it launched - but it’s great! The Map of where you’ve been - and the ability of being able to add Life Events all the way back to when you were born have been great. Though - kinda annoyed by the nagging on Facebook - trying to make you publish everything as “Public”. I just wish they launch it for everyone already!

New Google

My Google Bar! Where’s it gone!? As of now, I’m not liking this new interface - I used the “Image” and “YouTube” options at the top a lot! But I’ll adjust… Eventually.

New YouTube Channels

Whoa! Unexpected! YouTube revamped their channels! A nice looking design, but I do miss those “Friends” boxes etc. Now to track down how I can get them back.

So guys, what do you think?
