Everything is not yet FREE on the NET!

https://mediamax.streamload.com

There are a lot of websites providing online storage space for files, videos, music. Most of them give a trail 15 day membership after which things are chargeable. But there’s this site which claims free online storage space of 25 GB. Sounds unbelievable – in fact, you don’t need to believe it because I found a lot of loopholes while reviewing this site so I wanted to make other users aware of it all before you register and fall in the trap.

The loopholes are as below:

• The site is ambiguous about its price plans and features. There are 2 registration pages at different locations, each showcasing different Price Plans and Features.
https://www.streamload.com/Account/CreateNewAccount.asp?userName=xyz
https://mediamax.streamload.com/home/pricing.aspx

The first link has 5 plans with different prices and the second link has 3 plans which are not the same as any of the 5 previously mentioned ones.

• On registration, the site doesn’t actually provide 25GB but just 500 MB space. Moreover, there’s a restricted bandwidth too. At the same point of time, the file size limit is 25 MBs, so you cannot really share Videos as claimed by the site on its Homepage.

After coming across all these discrepancies, no one would really trust the genuineness of the site and for that matter would anyone jeopardize the safety and security of his important files?

No doubt, the server is quite fast and the file management is also user friendly but then, you don’t really get what you want!
