Online storage sites are an interesting option and have many useful applications. The concept is fairly simple. There is a user name and password protected place on the Internet for file storage. Most of the services let you work with the online storage area just as you would with a local hard drive, dragging and dropping files and folders. The online drive can be accessed only by you, or you can give others access to the files to share them. Most of these sites give individuals a small amount of storage space free, about 25-50 MB, and have payment plans for larger storage requirements and businesses. Some of these sites offer true group collaborative functions as well. The biggest benefit of these sites is the flexibility they provide in accessing data from any computer with internet access and a browser.
