    I've somehow blagged 6.2GB from Dropbox for free!

    Give yourself ½ gig or a £, you're worth it.

    Microsoft upping free Skydrive to 25 gig this week was a complete coincidence I suppose? :-)
    It has always been 25GB. They just lowered it to 7GB but if you've used SkyDrive before April 22nd you can keep the 25GB limit.

    Was it? I can't say I ever used it much but I certainly had used it before that date so I get to keep something I'll probably never use I suppose!

    Make sure you claim it on your account though. Not automatic.

    Anyone else's Google Drive available now? My Docs is now my Drive - it's very similar to Dropbox, unsurprisingly :)

    A lot of you seem ok with having Google OWN everything that you put on it. I wouldn't be too happy about that, myself.

    Every girl I ever kissed I was thinking of a pro footballer.

    I think I would just use dropbox, I don't see what this brings to the table other than more dependency on google products.

    Is it just me being a spac or can you not upload images and link directly?

    Please don't use the delete button, think of the children.

    Well, that's kinda shit. Just enabled for my domain, but Google docs aren't saved locally in any sort of editable format, just literally a URL link to the document on the Google Docs website. And it can't seem to open .doc files or similar on the website that you put into the Google Drive folder. So Google Docs and Word Docs are still utterly separate, meaning I have no real use for this over dropbox.

    Oh well.

    Yeah, it's far too proprietary for anything useful because of it's tethering to google.

    I'm sticking to dropbox and fluffy/cloud app.

    Any of you guys any good with the spreadsheets for this? I have a box with a figure in it, amount of personal savings, and I want the box next to it to show a percentage of the target, which is 1000. So for example 100 would show 10%.

    Doesn't help that I'm shite with maths and spreadsheets.

    Put this formula in C1 and format it as a percentage.

    =sum(A1/B1)

    A1 stores personal savings
    B1 contains target

    Give yourself ½ gig or a £, you're worth it.
