Free Web Storage

There are quite a lot free web storage providers. This is a selection of those ones I believe are more interesting, but you must consider this services are very dinamic (programs may stop, storage space reduced...), so do not rely on these services to store your important documents (unless you pay for the service). A DVD is a simple and effective option.

Important questions: How much storage do you really need? How much time are you going to spend uploading files? Will you ever use more than 1 GB online storage? Do you think each individual account in companies bellow are using more than 50 MB storage on average? How are you different from them?

In many cases, free storage is provided during trial period, or there is another kind of limitation (p.e. traffic may be limited, so you will not be able to upload and download huge files eventhough they are providing huge storage space). Often, additional space, traffic and other features must be paid.
