Online storage provider Livedrive has announced it has launched an unlimited online storage service.

"60% of people now have more than one computer," said Andrew Michael, CEO, Livedrive.

"With a growing number of people having more than one device - such as a desktop computer, a netbook and PDA - it no longer makes sense to store files individually on each device. People want all their files together in one place that is accessible from any device."

Livedrive acquired over 1 million users during its public beta program. The company has been developing Livedrive for two years.

Users of Livedrive will be able to open, view and edit their most common files, including Microsoft Office documents from any computer with an Internet connection. Livedrive offers customers a software application that can be installed on any computer, allowing them to access their storages as a normal drive- just like a USB stick or external hard drive.

"If people are going to use online storage, they need to be able to view their files, create files and save files on their computer, just like they do with their normal hard drive," said Michael.

"We are first to market with a working service that allows people to do this. Our customers get an 'L:' drive where they can access all their online files directly."

Unlimited storage is available for $129.95 a year and a limited account with up to 100GB is available for $55.95 a year.
