Great Post MoiN,

I would add a tool called DocLanding, http://www.doclanding.com. It is geared towards small businesses and entrepreneurs. Beyond the tools listed above DocLanding also offers versioning, document annotation, controlled (timed) sharing and it is compliant (HIPPA, SEC, and more). It is nice if you need to share sensitive documents without paying for a courier.

Check out a free account at http://www.doclanding.com,

Keep up the great posts,
Will

Why just use simple upload hosting when you can do multiple hosting in one click?

Use “Upload Mirrors” and your files will be uploaded to Rapidshare, Megaupload, Easy Share, ZShare, DepositFiles, sendspace, Badongo, Netload, Megashare, Zippyshare, Flyupload and Uploaded.to in only one simple click!

just a thought, have you tried skydrive? Its by Microsoft and offers free 25 Gb! No strings attached.

The only sucky part is you can only upload up to 50 Mb. I guess there goes the idea to backup your info on the cloud.

But, it is a totally free 25 Gigs. Thats better than almost anyone out there.

I have used…

Dropbox – this is the best by far for a beginner. it is so easy to use. Its only 2 Gb with limited up and downloads but, hey, its free right? also, this comes with a program to allow you to drag and drop files into a dropbox that syncs to the online dropbox.

Skydrive – Microsoft Interface, pretty easy to use. Nice looking windows interface (as with most MS stuff). The up and download limits are really annoying. Why give all that 25 Gb of space when you can only upload 50 Mb? Well, it works, its a lot of space and pretty reliable.

ADrive – this is the best all around. 50 Gb of space with a 2 Gb upload limit. all i can say is WOW! for this free service. Ive had it since early 2008 and its been great. The user interface is not nearly as sleek as the others, but as for the bang for your buck :) this is great. The interface looks like windows 95. If you made it through windows 95, you’ll do fine here.

So, if you dont need much space and want a good online storage, go with dropbox, but if you need lots of space but aren’t concerned as much about ease of use or aesthetics, go with the ADrive, and if you just love Microsoft for whatever the heck reason that may be, the skydrive works ok too.

For online backup I would recommend backupandshare.com to all home users, it is a great service for personal use or people looking for inexpensive online backup. It is very simple to use with features like incremental automatic and scheduled backup. It is a secured, easy-to-use online backup service that automatically keeps files and digital assets safe and easily accessible.
With backupandShare Windows mobile backup solution comes free. No wonder they are the current topper in this business, check them out http://top10onlinebackup.com/.
