Google Drive to Launch Next Week With 5 GB of Free Storage

Google Drive

Have you heard the latest news yet? ‘The Next Web’ has announced that Google will be launching their own cloud service named ‘Google Drive’ within the next few days that will compete directly with Dropbox. TNW has released a screenshot of the homepage to ‘Google Drive’ which it has been given an early trial to by Google. The screenshot clearly shows text on the homepage stating that Google Drive users will be given 5GB of free storage before they have to pay a penny. This is compared to Dropbox which only currently offer 2GB free storage to each user without having to pay. Although Google are eventually planning to start charging for the service.

Twitter users took to the web on Tuesday trending the words ‘Google Drive’. Users of the social media website posted messages such as ‘RIP Dropbox’. Could this be a sign that Dropbox, the company which has had domination over the cloud market for so long, could lose all of its customers the day that Googles new service is launched? Only time will tell.

Google Drive is expected to launch Tuesday 24th April at the url: Drive.Google.com

iPhone This Message Has Not Been Downloaded From The Server SOLVED!

Seems that Exchange 2010 SP1 knocked our iPhones out of sync with our Exchange server. iPhones could no longer view full emails, headers were downloaded but when opening the message the error: This Message Has Not Been Downloaded From The Server on the iPhone was received. After much research and lots of people having similar issues we found help from user TimMapes on the ExchangeTechnet Forums. After trying many scripts and other fixes it appears all that’s needed is to reset the default Accepted Domain in Exchange! We simply set a second domain as the default then set our original 1stopsupport.com domain back as the default. Low and behold opening an email on the iPhone now worked 1st time!

Such an easy fix but not something you’d naturally try as the correct domain was already set as default! Hope this helps if others are experiencing the same issue!
