| home 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 may be bought. For all websites you may check traffic related info at alexa.com (a popular storage service may be a good option).

EasyShare -
Files up to 100 MB. In theory, unlimited number of files may be uploaded.
This service is probably the most interesting one in case you just want to upload your file (anonymous upload is available) and share it with friends. Just upload the file and provide the linking code to your friends (or place the link on the web). Each file is removed after 30 days of inactivity. You may also register and get a free account. Problems: lot of ads and slow service. Paid service available. |
