Free Online Backup

File Savr is an relatively unknown file-hosting service similar to MegaUpload and RapidShare, with a goal to offer simple and basic file hosting service for quick file-sharing without forcing users to sign up for paid accounts, long countdown timers, pop up ads, or any other spam related activities.

Basic file-sharing is free on File Savr and needs no account, but if you want to make use of file management and sharing-permissions File Savr offers paid upgrades, in an limited period offer till 15 September 2008 File Savr is offering their 250GB Gold Plan costing $10/Month absolutely free for lifetime (actually 30 years).

With 250 GB of space and 10 GB maximum file-upload size, the free account can come pretty handy for backup of large files unsupported by most free hosters, to signup for the special offer follow the link at end of the article.

There exist quite a few well-known free online storage service providers and we have reviewed them earlier on the blog, DropBoks is a similar free secure online storage service but much simpler to use, DropBoks allows users to create personal account and store upto 1 GB of data, allowing upload/download of files upto 50 MB in size, the simple interface is very user friendly and allows uploading multiple files at once.

If Windows SkyDrive's 5 GB of free online storage is not sufficient for your needs, ADrive is offering a massive 50 GB of free secure online storage with file-sharing enabled, and unlike Mediamax 25 GB free storage offer with download limit, there is no such limitation here.

However, ADrive lacks a desktop client and all uploads are done via a Java interface, limiting the possibility to efficiently use the 50 GB backup space.

If SkyDrive's 5 GB of free online storage is not enough for your needs, here is another free online storage service from MediaMax, providing you a very generous 25 GB (catch being only 1 GB/Month download with 10 MB file-size limitation) of secure online storage facility absolutely free.

MediaMax provides you free secure online storage to upload, store, access, and share your personal videos, photos, movies, music, and files, uploaded content can be accessed anytime, anyplace using just a web-browser, using the optional free software utility "MediaMax XL Beta Software" you can also perform batch upload, download and automated backup operations right from your desktop.
