BarracudaDrive is an interesting web server created mostly for small businesses and home users. The server can easily be configured and used by non techies.
BarracudaDrive is different from the standard "online file service" provided by a myriad of providers. BarracudaDrive turns your home network into a powerful online file storage. For example, BarracudaDrive turns your PC or Mac into an online file server so whatever is on your computer can be accessed from anywhere, such as from work.
You can also give your friends limited or unlimited access to your computer so you can easily share documents, photos, music, and so on. You specify what you want to share. BarracudaDrive is similar to the iDisk service provided by Apple, but without the monthly fee.
BarracudaDrive also includes other services such as a powerful blog that you can connect with your friends on Facebook. Can you really trust content stored by online service providers?
Since BarracudaDrive is exclusively hosted by you, it becomes your personal cloud, allowing you to store and access your files and appliances anytime from anywhere but without the vulnerability inherent in 3rd party web portals. Why rent when you can buy?
No software needs to be installed on the client computer that you use when connecting to your home server since BarracudaDrive is based on open standards. This means that you can access your BarracudaDrive server from any device, such as your Internet enabled phone.
