AOL’s Xdrive, an online storage service that allows users to store up to 5GB of data for free. Windows users can also install Xdrive as a virtual hard drive making it easy to upload and download files or perform automated backups. But the the Xdrive desktop software often takes a while to connect and in our tests kind of wreaks havoc on the Windows Explorer process.

Today, AOL announced the release of Xdrive Desktop Lite, an all-new lightweight version of the Xdrive software on Adobe AIR. The Xdrive Desktop Lite product features an enhanced user interface as well as desktop integration and offers consumers the opportunity to use the Xdrive software on a Mac computer for the first time.

Xdrive Desktop Lite features:

• Queue multiple files/folders for simultaneous upload and download
• Easy-to-use file organization tools to create, move, and rename your folders
• Preview of supported media files on the fly with built in players
• Browse files and your desktop, hard drive, or USB device, not just your Xdrive account

With Xdrive Desktop Lite, it is easier and faster to store and move files to and from your Xdrive account. You can now drag and drop files directly from your desktop, hard drive, USB device, or or removable storage drives directly into your Xdrive account. You can easily manage and organize all of your documents, photos, music, videos and more in your personal online hard drive.

You can download the Xdrive Desktop Lite from http://xdrive.com/downloads/.
