I've used this for some time, not to keen on sharing but very useful for backing up family photos and copies of important files well their important to me and irreplaceable should something happen to my PC, mentioned it in a couple threads as their are a number of sites that offer the same service

 

There are others, I know ... and perhaps should have 'rounded them up' and placed all together in one area for easy reference for our members.

I feel much like you do, Match - out of all our possessions, the family photos are most precious to me!

 

Thanks for that Tip Mara--Might down load it---I mean it is free

 

I don't feel secure unless my data is backed up on media I physically control.

 

that's fine and I feel the same just a little inconvenient carrying it everywhere with me, and in this day and age one can't be too careful about theft, or worse house fire's, floods, planes crashing with Volcanic ash in the engine's , just lately tornado's are even appearing round the UK, so online storage to me offers another safe backup option, even if it's not 100% secure, but then it's not like I class bank statements and alike as important, and any criminal who manages to get my money before everyone else does had better let me know how they did it, as I would also like a chance to spend my money some time

 

Yup---agree--100%

I don't do banking online, but do use Pay Pal

& I do have a external hard drive back up---not much good when my cabin burns down---NO physically controlED THERE

JUST MY 2¢

 

I have been using Glideos.com 30 gigs of ad free storage great for all the pictures and whatnot

 

Having Glideos added to the list is great, Patrick - thanks so much!!
