Tony, I don't think that you were the problem. It appears that XDrive is not reliable enough for that kind of purpose. I had another account with them and I just found out that it is not only wipped out, it does not even exist anymore! I agree with you, I think that there is a need for sharing files among technicians and it would be worth trying once more. However, I believe that this should be done on a real website. Anyone want to endeavor?
