Hard disks and remote files

A few years ago, the idea of an online hard drive would have seemed ridiculous. But now, with high-speed connections like DSL and cable finally reaching homes, online storage services are beginning to make sense. Online storage sites not only allow you to make files easily available to colleagues and friends, but they also put work within reach from any Web-connected computer. It’s a brilliant idea for travelers, remote workers, and anyone working on office files from home. Now many websites will store your data on their servers, most of them for free.
