|
|
According to Techcrunch, eBay Inc.'s (NASDAQ:EBAY) PayPal is preparing a new secure online storage feature called DropBox.
I read Techcrunch's report, but some things remained vague. For example, he writes that the feature could allow users to securely store files and that the storage area would be associated with the account. What kind of files, I wonder? Invoices? That would probably make sense and be a useful feature. It isn't known yet whether the feature is for merchants only or for all users.

PayPal is preparing a new feature on a select range of users that allows them to securely store files with the payments provider. The new service, called DropBox, creates a secure storage area that is associated with the account.

Why would anyone wish to trust Paypal this kind of data :?: .......another challenge for the hackers out there :idea:
But at least when they freeze your account they will already have the invoice details required in the Paypal time wasteing run-a-round. :shock:
Sould be re-named to DropPaypal :lol:
Funny how ebay are complaining about the cost of server storage on store listing items and yet open up massive free storage area for invoices...this is one smart set of suits :!: |

| I don't see the logic here. Are people totally incapable of storing these files on their own computers and making a backup disk? You know they'll probably offer this free....at first....then it will be the old nickle and dime routine. Nothing new here - the same old bait ya then grab your dough :-) |

Yep - yet they have groups, blogs, discussion boards and a multitude of other things wasting away their bandwidth. Its a joke that only the truly ignorant cannot see. |
