Online storage sites

rtarbell · 23rd February 2010, 01:42 PM

A general question:

I am looking to move some of my files (manuals, pdf files, reports, etc.) to an online storage site for safe keeping. Are there any recommendations for online site that offer personal file storage? Free would be best, but I'm not against paying a small monthly fee.

I use two different anti-virus/anti-spyware programs, and both include a backup storage as part of the annual price. Since I am buying the protection, the backup storage is essentially free in my mind.

Norton and Webroot in this case.

I use two external USB hard drives. One resides by my computer, the other I bring with me to work as an "off site" backup. When I make a backup, I copy data to the drive by the computer and bring it to work where I swap it out with the other one.

It's not exactly a high-tech solution but it works for me...

I use RapidShare, its one of the world's largest file-hosting sites with millions of files stored on its servers. According to Alexa, Rapidshare is currently the 17th most visited website globally. Every premium account is limited to a maximum of 150 GB download traffic per month, divided equally over every day of the month. If there are 30 days in a month, then the user will receive 5 GB per day. The user is allowed to "save" traffic up to a maximum of 25 GB and can then spend the saved traffic all at once.

Thanks.
