It's a nice app actually, the reason i used it is to have easy access to some important files wherever there is an internet connection, and I don't have to bring my flash disk or laptop all the time. It's also a good online storage so you don't have to worry if your memory drives got formatted. Though i haven't tried it they say it has a sharing feature wherein you can grant some friends/colleagues access to your files. All of you can work and edit on a certain doc at the same time, with their names displayed on a chat window. But i don't use it right now coz the project i was working on is already finished (2 or 3 months ago). I tried Google Spreadsheets before.

There's a lot of comfort to be derived from knowing that a piece of software is installed in the box in front of you. That if anything goes wrong you have instant access to it. And it's not like they take up a lot of sace on your hard drive anyway, and there are free options like open office, so I have to wonder what the point of it all is?
