PSA: Article about free online Cloud storage options

[Lanny]

I just read this article. It was published one month ago, so it is pretty up-to-date.

I suspect I am pretty close to my limit, for my free Dropbox account. I need to log into my Dropbox account and see how much additional space I have...   I have been using Dropbox for a number of years, and it saved my rear, twice, once when my Desktop PC was destroyed by a nearby lightning strike and a 2nd time, 8 months later, I think a surge came in on the phone line and took out another PC.  I am very grateful that I had their free service and that it worked properly.   :hurray:

 

If the description of Microsoft OneDrive in this article is correct, at the end, it says if one pays $6.99 a month for Microsoft Office, that comes with 1 TB of storage. Above that, it says that 1 TB of storage is $6.99 a month.  

 

Possibly one of the services described in the article will be of interest to someone here. Remember the 3 important things to do with your computers: Backup, backup and backup...

Thanks, Lanny! I was just yesterday watching a video about digital photo storage. I have to admit, my current system is lacking and the idea that all my photos could be at risk makes my heart race. Time to do something about this!

Moxie: You are welcome.  Everything should be backed up, locally (we have a Removable Hard Disk Drive (Western Digital) I use to make System Image backups of the Hard Drives or this SSD, and, also, importantly, off-site. In the  Cloud is the easiest way to do the off-site backup.  Check it out...
