At the peak of the dotcom boom those free sites were sprinkled with online ads - which was the theoretical way they were funded. Then one day the ads and the sites were gone. ADrive, founded in 2007, seems to offer a useful amount of free backup for most consumers, and yes, its site does have a few ads. But is that enough to make a viable business model if enough users don't use its forthcoming paid for services? I don't think so. But it's a good way for a new company to get noticed.
