It was a very useful service.

If and when it worked.

Most of the files I kept on Driveway were also on one of my hard drives. After all, I kept them on Driveway so that I'd have access to them from whatever computer I was sitting at, not so that my only copy would be somewhere in cyberspace. But what attracted me to Driveway was something else. All of these services (when they're still working) offer more or less the same thing. Driveway offered an additional something. It claimed that it stored copies of URLs that remained accessible even if the poster of that URL later moved or removed the page. I need that sort of thing, and was happy to try it out and see if it really worked. A couple of times it seemed to do what it promised, while numerous other times it seemed to draw a blank. But of course if the service has gone the way of so many dot.coms, it really doesn't matter anymore.
