Oosah – 1TB Free Online Media Storage

Posted by Jonathan Wilbur

Sep 19

Thanks to Lifehacker, I think I may have found the perfect solution for backing up the gigs of photography that I have already backed up on an external hard drive.

Oosah.com boasts 1TB of online storage available for free. Sound too good to be true, well there are some limitations which you need to know up front

Only media files (jpg, mp3, wmv, etc…) can be stored online
Size limitations in place include 50mb/image, 9mb/mp3, and 200mb/video
There appears to be a limitation as to how many files can be uploaded at a time
No drag and drop utility yet available meaning you will need to create your own folder structure online

Seeing as how these maximums were more than enough for my personal use, I began to investigate more. Some major benefits in my opion…

Drag and drop uploaded images/video to a linked picassa, flickr, or youTube Account
iPhone optimized interface for browsing files (additional features soon to be available)
Media can be syndicated – RSS feeds are only a click away
Analytics available for uploaded content
Create oosahs – Presentations made using the media uploaded to your account.
RAW files accepted from all major camera manufacturers

I am intrigued enough to begin using primarily for photography at this point. At some point I may choose to back up my mp3’s. It seems like a great way to backup data which won’t fit on DVD’s

Just a side note…be careful if your ISP has any limitations on the amount of bandwidth your account is allowed before incurring additional charges!

Seriously, how many tip apps do we need

It seems Apple feels the need to release an app on almost a daily basis as it seems that does one thing and one thing only…

…calculates the tip for a meal…

I guess I have two gripes with this. The first is I can’t believe Apple would pay a developer to create such an app only to have Apple charge someone for the software. The second is I am shocked that we as a culture, have become so dependant in technology, that we are losing the ability to think.

You don’t need an iPhone to see this. Pay attention to the next
time you go to a grocery store and the clerk has trouble making change.

Is it so diificult to double or triple the tax? Or figure out 10% of the total and double that?

There are a slew of useless apps in the app store. If people want to pay for them, that is fine. But think before you pay $2 for something you should gave learned in 4th grade.

Stepping off my soapbox now…
