S3 is onlinedrive
Amazon’s new S3 online storage service is what I was talking about when I spoke of “online drives” a little while back, a place to store your data. There’s a clone of S3 called Park Place, so the “run your own servers” part is now handled. What’s missing is integration into applications. That’s something that someone should get onto with the greatest of speed; take your favourite web app that creates things and build some integration so it can save data onto your own personal S3 space (whether S3 itself or your own Park Place at an arbitrary URL). Then submit your patch to the upstream people so they incorporate it, or release a GreaseMonkey script to do it in the interim.
If they would just use WebDAV (are they?) it should work natively in Gnome, OS X and parts of Windows.
If they’re all re-inventing their own protocols again… that sucks.

There’s a WebDAV wrapper.

But there r many places to store data then what so special about “online drivers”. Or is it about saving data onto own personal S3 space?

Using WebDav is not enough? Why “online drivers”? Just for saving data onto own personal S3 space is enough reason to use it.

Apart from WebDav wrapper, there r “online drivers” to store data and that too in own personal S3 space. Like it!

Now we can make use of both for storing data.But it should not be re-inventing.
