3Great Choices for Free Online Data Storage
I have one of those USB jump drives. It holds about 256Mb (hey, I bought it years ago, but I do have another 2GB drive on order). Sometimes I forget my jump drive, and my files are just too big to email. I hate burning CDs and DVDs if I don’t have to, it’s a waste, so I wanted to know if there were free storage options online for me. I found a whole bunch.
There are many choices for you, but here are my personal favorites. I have listed the main features of each account, and what you get for free. Sign-up procedures vary with each one. You do have to give up some info to get a free account, but generally not that much. Then, you can load up your files at work and grab them at home…or vice versa. Freedom awaits.

The list is in no particular order. Check them out, choose the one you like the best.
1. XDRIVE
5GB free storage, drag ‘n’ drop capability, unlimited file
size/bandwidth (AOL users, just use your username and password and you
should get in fine...this is the one I use, I had an old AOL account and
it still worked).

2. MOZY

2GB free storage, unlimited file size/bandwidth
25GB free storage, file-sharing, unlimited file size/bandwidth
NOTE: Several readers have pointed out some problems with
MediaMax, namely that although uploads are unlimited, downloads are
severely limited unless you sign up for a paid account. It seems the
25GB is a big draw, but comes with disadvantages. Please, don't use this
service if you intend to download files larger than 10Mb.
