AOL said it is opening up the APIs for its free Xdrive service to allow developers to incorporate the service into their applications. Consumers are given 5GB of space to upload any type of content they wish, with an option to upgrade to a 50GB account for $9.95 per month. AOL says that the API allows use of Xdrive in both web and desktop applications.
"Rich media management and online storage increases engagement. Giving consumers the ability to share their media assets help Website owners build awareness and increase their audience," said David Liu, Senior Vice President of AOL Portals. The API is available from the AOL Developer Network, Liu said.
