Online storage and remote backups

If you're looking for an online storage service, you're in luck. There are many companies that offer to store your media online. These include starups, online stores, digital product companies - you name it. All of these provide their own online service, and the functionality is generally more than enough for the home user.

The process is simple. Each will offer their own tools for download that you can install (most offer software for Windows, Mac and Linux). Once installed, you will have drag-and-drop access to your online storage service. You can treat it like an online hard drive, or a remote backup drive.

Some sites will let you upload photographs and offer printing services on top, others will give you content-management functionality that will let you edit text files online. It really just depends on what options you're looking for. Online storage is just an optional extra to today's computing. As a online backup it is invaluable; as a file distribution system, it allows you to access your files from any computer on the Internet.

Most online storage sites give various options depending on your requirements. Many will give you a decent amount of free online storage - often more than enough for a home user! As you work up through the price plans, you get more storage, more bandwidth, possibly even unlimited depending on the package you pick.

If you're looking for an online storage service, there are a wealth of options to suit anybody.

Wikipedia: File Hosting Service 

A file hosting service, online file storage service, or online media center is an Internet hosting service specifically designed to host static content, typically large files that are not web pages. Typically they allow web and FTP access. They can be optimized for serving many users (as is implied by the term "hosting") or be optimized for single-user storage (as is implied by the term "storage"). Related services are video sharing, virtual storage and remote backup.
