Title: Best free online storage?
Post by: Littlefoot Fan on June 13, 2010, 07:47:56 PM
I was wondering if any of you know of some good free online storage I could use. I only need about 100 mb worth, so I'm sure I could find that much for free. I've been using ripway for a while but I hated the fact that they delete your account after not logging in for a month. I was trying ADrive too, but they had a really weird, complicated, and annoying way of backing up files, and it took forever for some reason. I just really hated it. I want something that makes it very easy to upload and download your files. Do any of you guys know of good ones that you use?

Just an FYI, I want one that keeps your files permanently, not something like driveway.

Feel free to use my server if you want.  It's not complicated at all, and I could easily accommodate 100mb.  Just sign up using the signup form.  I don't allow remote registrations for fear of abuse, but just fill out the form and I'll give you an account.

I really didn't think of that, but that would be awesome and most appreciated. Thanks, you're a life saver :D

I filled out the form, but when I hit submit I got a "Could not display this page" error. I hope it still went through.

Yeah I got it.  I just sent a reply.  I really gotta fix that server redirect error.  I'll get around to it eventually...

To be frank, I don't trust these things that say "backup your harddrive for XX dollars a year" safe and secure away from your machine at home.  Uhhh...why exactly should I trust another company with data I cherish?  I feel a little safer with it by me.  I already keep multiple hard drives and in different locations.  Save for unrealistic circumstances or a nuclear war, I think my system beats any of this online data backup stuff.

I use adrive.com as a backup for my stuff :) Too bad it doesn't work for you, works perfectly for me.
