Default SERVARE Introduces MyDataBus.Com a Free 2GB File Storage & Sharing Service

MyDataBus.com will enable everyone to have secure
online data storage/sharing ability.

Share your digital photos with friends & family!

At the present time, if someone needs to transfer
important large documents from one computer to
another at two different locations, they usually use one of the following; email it as an attachment, burn it to a disk, or load it onto a thumb drive.

With MyDataBus.com that’s eliminated!

With MyDataBus.com you receive 2GB of
online storage FREE!

MyDataBus.com is a FREE service provided by

Are you going to be flooded with spam after you sign up?

According to the Terms & Conditions you just might....that's what stopped me from opening a free storage site.

I don't believe this is the case. The condition as I know it with speaking breifly with Mr. Vondrak is that they are going to fund the free space in exchange for banners ads on it.....hey FREE still has a cost.

Heck if you worry about spam....just go open up a Hotmail account..use that and all the spam will go their.......not your personal account

Paul,
I'm not generally worried about spam per se, but this paragraph in the T&C's or Privacy Policy section just did set well with me ( the bold/underlined is mine):
  • To ensure our site content is relevant to your needs and interests.
  • To deliver services, such as updates, newsletters, pre-delivered content that you request, subscribe to or purchase.
  • To allow you access to restricted areas of our site as appropriate.
  • To allow advertiser to target your particular interests or activities
We may merge site-usage data with anonymous demographic information for research and marketing purposes, and we may use this information in aggregate to provide more relevant content. We occasionally hire other companies to provide services on our behalf, including packaging, mailing and delivering purchases, and delivery of content. We will only provide those companies the information they need to deliver the service, and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.

I think that means what advertisers they will be allowed to sell space to it.....in other words....they might sell ad space to someone who wants an add on YOUR free site they provide.....to target a market.

My thought is....it is not your MAIN side....it is a storage offer....who cares what they put on it......nice place to store tons of images for safe keeping and so on......with no strings attached so to speak.

Thumbs down Re: SERVARE Introduces MyDataBus.Com a Free 2GB File Storage & Sharing Service

Paul, I'm a little more suspicious than that. I believe it means they can and will provide your contact information to their advertisers and voilà, there's the spam. Again, not really that big a deal and I may very well take them up on their free offer.

UPDATE: After all the teeth-gnashing I tried to sign up only to get: ERROR IN CREATE USER: CONTAINER FILE ERROR!

Good question Ben. Paul, I'm all for free enterprise & members providing services and products to other members but with full disclosure. With your office and Servare's offices located .5 mile from each other then it raises the question as to whether there is a connection. If there is then I think that's great but it should be disclosed to all of us. You are a great, great asset to this board so please don't let mine & Ben's question put you off.

No, MY Data Bus does not share your E-mail or name with anyone.

The additional demographic info zip code, age, gender, etc. are shared only with businesses wishing to advertise in a given area!

Regards,

Dennis
