5 Free Online Storage Backup Services

If you want peace of mind when handling your computer files you
absolutely must backup your work every now and then. Preferably every
day.


Buying an external hard drive is really no big deal these days as you
can pick up a 250GB drive for less than $100 in most places.


But if money is an issue for you, then the following 5 online cloud
servers will allow you to back up your data, and sleep better at night.






1. Box.net



Box.net offers you 1GB of free space on their server should you wish
to back up your most important files. In the bigger scheme of things 1GB
is nothing, today we reach critical mass by downloading a few eBooks,
files and videos and already we reach the storage limit.


If money is short and you are forced to limit yourself to choosing
the most important 1GB of files on your machine you’ll soon learn to
distinguish between clutter and files that matter.



2. Mozy.com



Known as one of the most popular online backup services, Mozy is
favored by many marketers because of the generous 2GB free server space.
Theoretically you could sign up for a few free accounts by registering
as several people (mum, dad, siblings, etc.) Just make sure you get
their consent before you do.



3. SugarSync



SugarSync also offers 2GB of free server space to you. Because of the
dual compatibility between Windows PCs and Mac you can use this
cloud-based software to sync all of your computers, regardless where you
are in the world. Great for people who are in the habit of taking work
home from their job.


Update: They also offer a 30-day free trial for you (thanks Chris Roberts for mentioning this).



4. ElephantDrive



ElephantDrive is another provider offering you free space on their
server. You get 1GB of space for your most precious files. Never
underestimate the opportunities that present themselves to you with
these services. A real organized person could run their whole business
with free online backup services by organizing everything into folders. I
must admit I wouldn’t bother with the hassle of running several free
services, but some people who are strapped for cash might think
otherwise.



5. eSnips



The cream of the crop is eSnips. They give you a massive 5GB of free
space for sharing your pics, files and more. Your imagination will be
the one thing stopping you from making the most of this free service.


There you have it, 5 free online backup and file sharing services for
people with little or no money to spend. You should also note that each
of the above site will also sell you backup data space on their servers
for a range of prices, depending on how much space you need. Visit them
to find out.


Feel free to share your favorite free backup services with us.
