MattSouthall Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 I saw an older show of the Gadget show yesterday, and they said "Computer experts say that unless your files are backed up in 3 different places they exists!" so i thought, saving files online... so i had a little look around to see what there was (preferably free), I've seen the Windows live skydive, it's very good, but, i have a fair few music files and photo's So does anybody know of any trusty places to upload full folders at a time with a fairly large storage?? (bit of a challenge for me searching around the internet...) thanks alot guys :D:D:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 50GB free - http://www.adrive.com/ never used it before tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattSouthall Posted October 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 That looks good, i did try 'DropBox' and that gets dowloaded and you just click and drag folders to it which is really good insted of having to go to the website and upload single files (which does bug me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueWolf Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 Dropbox is indeed very good. You get 2GB for free. You basically have a special folder on your computer and anything you move into there will be uploaded. If you have multiple computers with both Dropbox installed you can automatically let in synchronize it to that pc as well. I don't use it as backup though. I don't want all my files to be uploaded to a company who just says "it's safe there". Not that I have anything to hide, but it's still something I'm always concerted about. I use my fileserver (a separate computer) as a backup place. This obvious works when my harddisk dies but I can still loose all my files when, for example, a fire destroys my whole house (I'd rather not think about that ) (edit: If you wan't Dropbox, I can send you my referal-link. That way both of us can get an extra 250MB to use . PM me if you want) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattSouthall Posted October 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 Yeah i have it but just got rid of it realizing that i need more than 2GB it's just i idearly need something just to drag folders to a place (like dropbox) but a big memory space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a copy/backup for personal use. Otherwise you wouldn't even be able to backup your legally bought music/games as well. (Though I have know idea what the laws are like in England, here in NL only publishing music is illegal, download isn't) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
