I looked at Australian alternatives but unfortunately they had such big bandwidth fees I couldn't justify it. The odd thing about that is by the carriers charging so much for bandwidth usage you end up with so many people buying bandwidth intensive applications overseas and driving the bandwidth down the expensive overseas cables instead of keeping it inside Australia where it should in fact be cheaper. But they'll never learn :-) Hi Russell,

Is I-Drive hosted in Australia? Does it use several sites - i.e. what geographic diversity does it have as part of disaster recovery. I am currently checking out "Dropbox" - would you or some-one else care to offer a comparison of the I-Drive product. thanks, Hi,
