Online backup and storage services

Post by Dominus Atheos »

I decided I need one. The problem is I can't find any comparisons that were done in the last year. Does anyone have any experience with any of these services or can find a recent comparison?

Dropbox is incredibly easy to use. If you're worried about your data, encrypt it before uploading.

That is an excellent question. So I just asked myself: If my house burned down tomorrow and I lost my tower, all hard drives flash drives and other media, what would be irreplaceable? The answer I came up with: jack. Not a damn thing. No work documents, no family pictures, nothing. Everything on here would just be an inconvenience to replace.

Thanks for your help anyway.
