Anyone use online storage for storing digital photos/mp3/video files? More the space for FREE the better 🙂
This also can be used as a backup along with accessing the files over the internet.
Have checked www.adrive.com which gives out 50GB of free space. The only caveat for this site is they do not have any contact information except for some e-mail addresses. If it goes under, all your stuff is gone.
Use gmail to store your files 🙂
There are progs that let you access files as remote files – gmailDrive, gmailFS
Personally haven’t tried but friends have tried it.
There is filesize limit, i think 10MB, so video files are out…. but it should be enough for photos/mp3/docs
Dont depend on anything “Free” for your online storage backup. Far greater chances of company going bust soon.
Amazon’s S3 storage service is good I have heard.
Amazon’s S3 is 15 cents / per gigabyte / per month.
I would be weary of using some free archiving tools to google or elsewhere. Here is an article about G-Archiver. Maybe an honest programming mistake but still… http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001072.html

substitute leery for *weary above.
Gmail has a limit of 10 MB per upload – so it would be a pain to upload all the accumulated thousands of photos and MP3 🙂 BTW the codinghorror seems a real horror
Found another site http://www.xdrive.com – operated by AOL but has only 5 GB of Free space.
