Access your files anytime anywhere! Size Doesn't matter!

How many times have you sent file to someone only to have it returned by their mail server as being over quota. You've just got to-have to-absolutely- must- get those files delivered! Problem is they are too big for email and you don’t have anywhere else to put them. Have no fear, online file storage is here.


Previous incarnations of online file storage meant you had a limit of 5mb storage, or maybe 10mb web space. Most ISP's offer a shell account for your files but accessing them meant either using FTP, or publishing them to the web space your ISP provides.

A previous post offers a list of the top ten online file storage websites. Keeping with that topic, there are some new players on the scene:

You can now edit shared documents with a single click from desktop instead of traditional method of saving it to your local computer and emailing it back.
