Hi

I need to park a CD's worth of image files for a few weeks. (i.e. c.
600MB).
Anyone recommend anywhere to do so for free?
Speed of access/reliability/tech support/security } ar not very
important.

So what is wrong with burning it to a CD and putting it
somewhere secure (like a safe deposit box if the data is especially
valuable)?

If you have a hotmail / live account, check in your services for
SkyDrive. They give you 1GB of storage for free.

There are quite a number of companies that provide on-line storage
solutions, and many will provide some free storage. I have a list of storage
companies that provide free storage at
http://www.cryer.co.uk/resources/virtualstorage.htm. Personally I'd
recommend DriveHQ, but there are others. Take you pick.

Hope this s.

CDs not good for sharing.
Slower on postage etc.
CDs rather slow to burn.
In truth CD's are really slightly too small nowadays too.

It seems to me that you said that you had a CD's worth of
material. So how is a CD too small for this?

I thought you were going to STORE it, not mail it.

If it is a one time thing, then what's the difference. I can
burn CDs in a very short time. I rarely do it, though.

The counterpart is that you would be using one of these free
online backup services that would have all of your important data and
be able to access it and compromise your privacy.

Regards,



Fred

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GDrive

"It allows a user to access a virtual drive stored in a Gmail e-mail
account by causing the contents of the Gmail account to appear as a new
network share on the user's workstation. In order to use this add-on, the
user needs a Gmail e-mail account. The add-on enables the user to use the
standard Windows desktop file copy and paste commands to transfer files to
and from the Gmail account as if it was a drive on the user's computer."
