Did that get your attention? With a recent release of AOL unveiling Xdrive's 5GB free storage for Mac, I just wondered how much free space would it take for you to sign up for one of these services?

5GB is good, but it really is just a teaser.

Granted, you can purchase additional storage but what does it get you? You can upload, download, and share files all you want.

But what do you really want?

Wouldn't you really want to be able to run applications while accessing this storage. Wouldn't it be cool if I could access a small embedded database? Wouldn't it be nice if I could run an application of my mobile device and access this external storage just as if it were local?
