Free space on Gobbler?

Has anyone gotten a voucer for this? I purchased my copy of X3 on October 1st and the offer is valid until October 31st but I haven't gotten the voucer code yet. It said it could take a couple of days, now it's been four. Do I have to do something special? Anyone know? I'd like to contact customer support but the link to their e-mail form doesn't work
 
Would like to check this out since I'm running between different locations with portable harddrives. If I don't have to bring those along, it would be cool!
 
Cheers ;)

    I haven't had one either. Before the store crashed, Im sure I had a gobbler promo code in my account where the X2 producer club updates were, that and the producer club stuff has also dissapears now.

    Hey, I haven't even noticed that the content club offers were gone! Didn't even know there's been problems with the store. Oh well, perhaps it will show up soon then. I'll be working in different locations this weekend and until next week. Wish I had it for that.

    I got a voucher in my store account for 5 free GB of storage on Gobbler - signed up, haven't used it yet.

    I got the 5Gb, everyone can get that just for signing up. But if you purchases Sonar before oct 31st you'll get extra 20Gb for six months. I'd like to check it out, 5Gb is too small ;)

    I just signed up today, the code was in my account. All is well, though for me the upload speed is slow. I see some value in it backing up my current project, and for collaborations. Can't imagine backing my entire body of works there.

    When you say the ode was in your account was it there before you signed up or after signing up?

    It seems to me that backing up music production online is still way too slow/expensive to make it worthwhile.  It'd rather pay $150, get a 3TB drive, and manually backup at the EOD.  In fact, I do.  I have multiple drives.  It's quick, I don't need to run any apps.  And it's $150 that will last quite a while, rather than a subscription.
     
    I have a paid account on Dropbox that I use to send clients files.  That works fine.  I have enough space to put up full-quality 44.1k WAV files for a CD or whatever if needed.  Good enough.  But the upload speed of anything more than an MP3 isn't good enough as of yet.  Just my experience!

    Yep in general, upload speeds are woeful, but this will definitely useful for collaborations tho.

    What is the value of this service being integrated into Sonar?  Can't anyone simply upload files to the cloud storage platform of their choice whenever they choose?  With all the various sites providing these services - you can get 5 gigabytes or so for free from Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, Dropbox, Mediafire, etc, as well as Gobbler - it seems like there's more than enough free storage out there for collaboration purposes.
     
    For backup purposes, I don't understand why these services are more reliable than a couple of redundant backup hard drives, and it's so convenient to attach a hard drive through USB3 or eSata for transfer rates of what, 60 megabytes per second?  Maybe higher?
     
    Also, why is it good to have Sonar manage your backups, etc, rather than directly accessing the tools yourself?
     
    Thanks for your comments.

    Well, it seems like it's backing up to Gobbler as you work on the projects, it's project specific and happens from within Sonar and is available in both my locations instantly. As far as I can tell, there's no need to back up your entire heap of projects, only the ones you want available in more than one location. I quite like the idea. I'm tired of lugging harddrives around in the rain and cold weather that we have here, and then worry about them on the pub on my way home after the sessions. Plus, it may actually be cheaper than buying new harddrives all the time. I'm usually doing tracking in one location and everything else in another, having everything available in both places - plus available from the gobbler site when I'm out and about - would be extremely convenient for me. And the transfer protocol seems like it could be useful! I could probably do without Digidelivery.
     
    I've tried to make it work with Box, Dropbox (which I use for other things), Cloud Drive, SkyDrive (ugh) +++ and some paid-for services but most of them turn out to be quite unreliable. Box won't take files if they are too big, SkyDrive don't always upload or download everything. Suddenly you're stuck somewhere missing a file or two. Besides, my projects usually get really big, sometimes with video and such, so to use a cloud based storage service to transfer and store my projects, I need to purchase storage space, so why not do that with a service that integrates in Sonar and then I can leave my Dropbox, Skydrive and all that for personal stuff.
     
    The voucher is still not in my account. I guess it will come eventually. If not I might just purchase the service. On my way to the studio today I picked up a new harddrive since my old one is dying on me. I could have saved the 800,-NOK and spent them at the pub

    +1 on that one.

    I am looking forwards to when my pitiful upload speed here in the countryside of the UK will allow me to use my NAS box to its full potential and share files and projects with clients that way....My own Webserver.

    Ah, that would make a huge difference, I have a pretty good internet connection here in the middle of Oslo. Uploads and downloads are quite quick.
     
    But there's a difference here; copying a couple of gigabytes onto a cloud service takes time. What intrigues me about Gobbler is that it updates the changes as you make them. After a project is synced to the cloud, updates to the project files and snippets of audio you record will be uploaded more or less instantanious. To me, that beats any external harddrive management

     Word! Incremental backup on the fly is a good feature!!.
