Titanize was a great unknown online storage app, offering not just backup, but Web-based access to files, and computer-to-computer file synchronization. Now both Upline and Titanize are gone. The online storage space is crowded, so one can't really fault HP for withdrawing from a competitive market where it didn't stand out. For online backup, I recommend Carbonite or Mozy (colleague Tom Merritt swears by JungleDisk). For Web storage and sharing, there's Box.net and Dropbox. For ...

Carbonite for Mac Finally Released. Worth the Wait? [WebWorkerDaily]
GigaOM Network — ... There are now more choices for Mac users for automated online backups, including my personal favorite: Jungle Disk. It provides a very easy-to-use interface for automatically backing up files to Amazon S3 storage space.

But it still has a very easy-to-use interface, and it’s far more flexible than Carbonite. For example, with Jungle Disk you can specify ...
