Computer Cloud Storage For Free

Instead of an external hard drive to back up your files, you could for free do cloud storage of your files.  Most free storage sites provide around 5 gigabytes of storage room for free.  You can open multiple accounts and cobble together a completely free system.  The disadvantage of this idea is that your data is spread out, but you can download a free app from Otixo.com to help manage it all.  In any event, you can use just one site and keep your most important files on that one site.  Following is a list of sites showing how much free space that you get and what that site is best used for:

• Google Drive (drive.google.com) - 5 GB - For documents
• IDrive (idrive.com) - 5 GB - Documents
• Amazon Cloud Drive (amazon.com/clouddrive) - 5 GB - Music
• Dropbox (dropbox.com) - 2 GB - Photos
• Microsoft SkyDrive (skydrive.live.com) - 7 GB - Microsoft Office Projects that you use from multiple computers because the site syncs automatically
• SugarSync (sugarsync.com) - 5 GB - Documents you are collaborating with others on since you can password protect public files
