More details would help. How much do you need to store? Why? How much bandwidth will you want for retrieval? —Alorael, who would have to give different recommendations for 10 MB large files, 100 MB large files, and 1000 MB large files. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

Around 750mb would be useful. To Commander Edward:I need online because say I have computer trouble and need to delete everything.There you go the files are gone.If online less chance of them getting dumped. -------------------- George Bush is a Nazi - Eric Cartmen I'm not as think you stoned I am Visit the RIFQ Forums Posts: 462 | Registered: Tuesday, June 21 2005 07:00 |

If your computer has a CD burner, you can always just put everything on a CD-R. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

If you don't mind spending some time, you could zip them, then use a "file chopping tool" to break them up into chunks of 10 MB each, then feed them into a Google mail account... -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

750Mb is an incredibly large file to upload, even with a high-speed cable connection. On my cable connection, I can download things at up to 1Mbps, on a good day. I've never uploaded at more than 60Kbps. That's a bit more than three and a half hours of uploading. If you have more than one such file, you might as well use CD-Rs or USB flash drives, which will save you at least three hours of your time. -------------------- --Dachnaz Posts: 50 | Registered: Saturday, January 14 2006 08:00 |

Storing anything upward of 100 MB online is a bad idea unless you really need to make it publically available. Using paid webspace as file storage when there is any alternative is a waste of money - online space is far more expensive than local space, as a rule. -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

Yeah, definately just get a USB key or a CD-R. CD-R cost near to nothing, don't have a monthly charge, and just one could plausibly hold your 750MB. And then there's DVD-R's.
