I am a fan of online storage services, to the extent that I do follow things. Omnidrive is one of those services that I profiled briefly more than a year ago, and at the time I really liked it. In fact, at the Web 2.0 Summit in 2006, Venturebeat annointed Omnidrive winner of the Launchpad portion of the conference.
Well, it looks like Omnidrive has hit the deadpool.
Both Omnidrive *and* the blog for Nik Cubrilovic now forward to a page called Financial Amnesty, which I’m not linking to, because its on the dodgy side of sketchy.
Now, I have no idea if Nik and Omnidrive have been hacked, and perhaps that’s why there’s a redirect going to this site, but given how quiet Omnidrive has been in the recent past, and other whispers of its impeding demise, if this is the truth … well, it doesn’t appear to be any surprise.

Hi. Full disclosure here: I work for http://www.nomadesk.com, which offers small business users (or nomadic professionals, as we like to call ourselves) an innovative way to share documents and work together on a “virtual fileserver.” I read your post on Omnidrive with great interest – quite gloomy!
As you mentioned that you are a fan of online storage services and wanted to follow things, I wish to add NomaDesk to the discussion.
Actually, NomaDesk comes with a feature set specifically geared toward the mobile pro. I would appreciate your review – in due time.
Thanks!
