Recommended by XDrive

Box.net
Carbonite
Elephant Drive
Microsoft Live Sky Drive
Mozy
Spare Backup

I recommend:
Humyo (25GB for multimedia content, 5GB for other files)
DropBox.

I use Box.net, but a single file can't exceed 5 MB in size. So go for Microsoft's Sky Drive.

Skydrive - Give it a try

Download managers supported, multiple file download possible, hotlinking possible (check with their T&C, I couldn't find anything against it though), have plugin for IE etc.

An old thread here - Introducing Windows Live SkyDrive!

 

[thewisecrab]

Oh.....I forgot. Dropbox is great too

 

[deepakvrao]

Syncplicity

BTW, Skydrive will be introducing quite range of new features. 25 GB space & zipped downloads are 2 of them.

how good is Dropbox compared to these other services ??

i've just started to upload a few files to a Dropbox (free) account ... so i'd like to know if i can continue using it or should I change over to some "better" services ..

PS: i use Dropbox to upload a few PDF files and some pics...

Even I'd like to know, considering many on this forum are using it

@thewisecrab and n6300

Dropbox is good. Simple and fast interface,no ads and desktop client for mac and linux apart from one for windows to upload/view files. You can download a folder in zipped folder and revisions are also saved.
And you can download a file directly without opening any webpage and clicking on download as you need to do with most other services.

Thanks for the answer ThinkFree
More Questions:
How much space do you get?
Are there any limitations (like in free/paid. Or is it only free) ?

 

[ThinkFree]

^^Just 2GB in free account.

^^Just 2GB in free account.

That a letdown
Still, will give Skydrive and dropbox a shot

 

[ThinkFree]

You get 50GB if you pay a hefty fee of $99 a year.

How about FileSavr ?I have 2-3 FileSavr Accounts to spare, so if u need it just tell me.Valid for 30yrs(i think).

^^I too had made three, but haven't used any . Dropbox is good enough for me.
