GMail Drive in My Computer

<< < (3/5) > >>

cmpm:
The admin alerts will go to the aol email account unless you change it in the profile. So I changed mine to my gmail but still found the aol email page to log into and saved it as a bookmark.

Curt:
This AIM is a mystery to me! Do all AIM users really accept having this stupid   tall   add poluted   window   on the side of the desktop?? Why on earth will AIM not offer to start hidden   minimized to systray?? Do they offer some 'pro' version which will fix this?

The plugin Gmail Notifier is a little stupid: It will offfer to start with Windows, but when it does, it will ask you first to click OK - with no option to auto-login in the future. Some feature!

Edit: Its not quite the same, but to my liking Skype is way ahead of both AIM and Gmail
- when it comes to being userfriendly.

cmpm:
You can uninstall AIM and still have the XDrive.
Either use the XDrive Desktop or the website.
I like the website. Though the Desktop thingy is fun to play with.

And I agree Skype is the best, wish they would have integrated it with GMail.

justice:
I don't know why Xdrive needs 22.4 MB of ram to sit in my system tray and map a network drive over SSL.  there's an aolsoftware.exe running ???, xdrive, xdriveservice,xdrivetray and xdrSmb ( i take it it's an samba interface). Bit much.
However copying to and from the removable drive in explorer works fine, the context menu works like a charm, and i'm not violating any terms/cons like gdrive.

So mixed opinion so far.

cmpm; did not this Xdrive Desktop 'thingy' ask you to click okay to login at AIM at each PC Start ?? It did at my PC, so I removed the bastard; I will not have my programs asking me silly questions... I removed AIM as well. me2curt4u will answer no more...

Edit: I was very disappointed to see that AOL (AIM) again had installed a program (some mediaplayer) on my PC without first telling me and then did not remove it at AOL (AIM) uninstall. How dare they!?
