Tips

 If you have access to "unlimited" broadband (i.e. where you pay a fixed monthly fee to your internet service provider, regardless of how much data you transfer), where you do not pay extra money for additional bandwidth use, there's plenty of scope to store your files online rather than on your computer. There are a number of advantages associated with online storage. Firstly, very often, it is free. Streamload's Mediamax offers 25GB of free data storage free.Secondly, you can conveniently access it whenever and wherever you want (providing you have internet access). Thirdly, you can share online files with other colleagues and restrict access/participation as well. The storage providers also offer you additional security by backing up your data so it cannot be lost. Other than media files (like MP3 and video), office files like presentation or spreadsheet documents seldom occupy more than 10MB space and are ideal for online storage. The best value for money though, should you want to pay, is the award winning start-up “Mozy” which offers an unprecedented 50GB of storage for just £30 per year.
