Xdrive is a web file storage service like Box.net or the now direct competitor SkyDrive from Microsoft Windows Live Services. Skydrive just launched last week in 38 countries and now bears the same 5 gigs capacity that Xdrive offers for its free users, so it no wonder they have no updated their service and are now offering a better File Management App done AIR as a response to that.

But just as AOL has updated the service and started offering a AIR app, the Xdrive dev community has taken to themselves to offer Xdrive Usage Widgets.  so you can download a Windows Vista Sidebar Gadget for Xdrive and a OS X Dashboard Widget if you are user of Xdrive.
