ADrive.com Adds New Features, While Continuing to Offer 50GB of Free Online Storage

EMERYVILLE, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
ADrive(TM) (ADrive.com) announced a new set of features today, and
is still continuing to offer 50GB of free online data storage to its
users. Online document editing, support of international characters,
remote URL file transfer capability, the ability to email files to
friends directly from your ADrive account, a simple HTTP upload tool,
and a new search function for simpler navigation through your stored
ADrive files are among the new features just released.

   ADrive is utilizing technology from Zoho(R) to allow users to edit
documents online, directly from their ADrive account. Users can now
edit word processing documents and spreadsheet files stored in their
ADrive account by simply clicking on the 'Edit' button, making changes
to the files using the Zoho Editor, and saving changes directly to
their ADrive account without having to re-upload a new file.

   ADrive's online storage service has gained popularity worldwide
and has just launched the support of international characters. Files
stored to ADrive may now contain non-English characters as opposed to
the previous English-only character allowance.

   Another recent addition to ADrive's suite of tools is the ability
to remotely transfer files to your ADrive account from external
websites. When users are logged into ADrive, they can click on the
'Grab Remote File' link and then paste the link of the file they wish
to save to their account. A 'Download is Complete' message will appear
once the file has been successfully transferred to the user's ADrive
account.

   ADrive users can also email files to friends or other recipients
directly through ADrive. Once logged in, a user needs to first click
the 'Share' button to first make the file public, then click 'Email a
Friend' to enter the recipient's email address and an optional
message. Any shared files can be unshared at anytime.

   ADrive has now made it easier for users to navigate their stored
files. Instead of browsing through directories looking for a specific
file, users can use the search function once logged into their
account. Also, for users who do not wish to use the Java upload tool,
a simple HTTP upload tool is now available. This simple uploader only
uploads individual files whereas directory uploads are available using
the Java uploader.

   ADrive continues to offer 50GB of free storage to all users, with
additional features coming soon. Learn more about ADrive at
