If you are like me that love that extra space, you could be searching for sites to store files online. Everyone would love to store their data on their web servers, but the huge price tag slammed on such services are really a no brainier, especially if you are working on a budget.
Over the years, I have learned to have my files up there in cloud; a lot of things could happen to your physical storage device, which could mean the end of years of hard work. To advert this, it is best practise to store your files in more than one file hosting sites.
So, here is the deal. I have put up a compressive list of 5 sites to store files online. They are so many out there and it could be more in here, but our philosophy is to keep things in a list simple and informative.
1. Dropbox
This is obviously one of one the most popular file hosting sites; you can easily upload your files to Dropbox secure server and also share them quickly. Dropbox automatically sync your files online with any other computer you have dropbox installed, with your login credentials.
Dropbox is available on Windows, Mac, and Linux. You can access your files anywhere, even if you do not have Dropbox installed on the machine. The company offers 2 GB free storage space to every user while premium users can get much about 100 GB of storage space.
2. Livedrive
Livedrive comes with a unique and intuitive user interface, allowing users make use of the “drag and drop” feature for easy file transfer between Livedrive and social platforms like Flickr, Facebook and SmugMug
