(Free) Online Storage and Drives
For those who need to save their files and share them on the cloud. Here is a list of free websites that offer online storage (some can sync our files across multiple computer without the need for individual downloads and uploads):
Box – Free 1GB storage, 5 collaborators and a limit of 25MB per file upload.
DropBox – Free 2GB storage, offers sync’ing.
ADrive – Free 50GB storage, simple storage and sharing capabilities, ability to edit documents online.
ZumoDrive – 1GB free storage, sync’ing, iPhone application.
MediaFire – Free and unlimited file storage, limit of 100MB per upload, upload different files to different folders and share them.
eSnips – Share files with people of the same interests, Youtube and Delicious meet files storage.
There are many more services to explore, but these are just a few that stand out to me. You can find more by simply going to a website like Go2Web20 and looking for the tag “storage”.
Have your own suggestions, please share them here.
I am also interested in the use of file storage services like these in learning contexts (at school, at work, when designing instruction, etc.), besides the obvious: there is no excuse for forgetting a document anymore and the ease to share any type of file with colleagues, classmates and instructors…
