SugarSynch will give you 5 gigabytes of free on line storage.
I had a couple of those online sites a few years ago. One was a speciality Yahoo site for keeping web clippings.
I didn't use either very often. One day, I go to log on the the website(s) are no longer operational. In neither case did I get a warning email. In both cases, I lost my contents on those storage websites.
Just be cautious of those 'free' online storage sites. I much prefer a usb plug-in portable hard drive. They come in various sizes and prices are relatively cheap. I periodically backup my data to them.

I know what you are talking about. My nephew uses the pay version of Sugar Sync so hopefully they are making a profit and staying in business. He pays and gets 50gb online storage. It is like Carbonite which advertises heavily on Limbaugh
Twice I have instructed over the phone how he can reformat his Dell laptop. He reformatted and has all his “essentials” in the Sugar Synch cloud so no sweat.
In college he is often using the public computers so he always has access to his stuff
I use free Sugar Sync and get 5gb
