Free Unlimited Storage from Elephant Drive

Elephant Drive, in association with Amazon is creating a service similar to that of XDrive. However, they are offering unlimited offsite backup free of charge if you sign up as a beta tester.

Run a Backup Job – You can ask ElephantDrive to to run a Backup Job either by “folder” or by “type”. For a “folder” Backup Job, you select a specific folder on your computer (like “My Documents,” or “important stuff,” or “C://”), and ElephantDrive will make a backup of every file and folder that lives there. For a “type” Backup Job, instead of selecting a specific folder you choose one or more file types (like “doc,” or “xls,” or “mp3”), and ElephantDrive will make a backup of every file of that type it finds. We tried to make this process even easier by having a few of these jobs pre-defined and ready to run — in only two clicks, you can get them started! Better yet, once created, these jobs will automatically run at regular intervals, so you’ll always be up to date.

Upload a specific item – You can also move files and folders between your computer and ElephantDrive on an ad hoc basis using the Trunk Manager. Either drag-and-drop like any other Windows programs, or select the items you to move into your Trunk or back to your computer and click the upload or download buttons.
