I am going to make this article as informative in as few words as possible. I know if you found this post, you are looking for solutions for your online storage needs. If you are going to have a virtual office with collaboration on documents and not have your own server to upkeep and maintain, you are going to have to use virtual storage. And depending on your software needs, you may need to get a virtual or dedicated co-located server. I will share some of the free, cheap and easiest options on up to the more expensive solutions.
So, let’s get started!
Let’s start with the free options.
These guys are one of my favorites and they have so many great options like:
- Share files and images with all of your friends and upload them only once.
- Link to files from your MySpace page, your blog, or forums.
- Upload an unlimited number of files to share with friends and family or storage.
- Use folders to easily share groups of files or create galleries for all your images.
- No registration necessary and no software to install.
- Keep frequently used files online for easy access from any computer with an internet connection.
The downsides of MediaFire are that thy are not quite as secure as some of the other options and they online have an online upload interface.
These guys are our personal favorite. We currently use them as our solution. Though we have accounts with each, these guys have stayed the easiest to use and have a desktop application called, “Drive Locker,” which allows you to drag and drop your files right into their system. Just like mediafire, they have unlimited file hosting, however, they ONLY allow you to upload 3GB per month!
They make it very easy to share your files, however, not quite as easy as these next folks we want to introduce you to…
These guys have a free and paid solution. I LOVE theseguys. They have the best ways to share your files through secure sites and portals. They are the most versatile of all the groups that I have found. However, there are TONS of ads on the free solutions and a few times, I have found my site still open when I return due to a glitch. I am sure these issues will soon be addressed and I know we haven’t seen the best from these guys yet!
They have so many features, that I think the best way to share their info is to give you a link here: (CLICK HERE) for their features and plans.
XDrive.com is a very neat solution. I like it not because it really ranks with the rest, but because it is easy to use, it has a nice interface and it is connected to your AOL IM (AIM) Screen Name. Yes folks, this is another one of those quick thinker; AOL’s solutions!
Xdrive Features
- Back up your valuable files – your music, photos and more – automatically.
- Conveniently access all your files from anywhere.
- Easily share your files with friends and family.
- Get 5GB for Free!
Now for the paid stuff:
If you need more than a simple file saving and sharing solution, and you want to host your applications, software and office solutions, you are going to want something more. Co-Location is the plan for you. You can do so much more with one of these solutions.
