Re: Best free online file storage/sync?
Beware. It sounds like they deactivate your account if you do not login for 30 days.

Maybe this is outdated, but I have read xdrive is one of the few online storage sites that does not encypt your data, leaving it vulnerable. |

1GB USB thumb drive, about twenty bucks. For the purpose of moving bits between home and work, that seems a lot more convenient. |

AOL Xdrive isn't bad either. Also tiered, free and pay levels available.

EDIT: Check that, didn't see you mentioned Xdrive in your OP. Ah well, for me it does the job when I really need to store something on the internet. |

This outfit is pretty good. They have free and pay version. I have used both and currently am using the pay-fer use and I forgot why. Oh I remember that way people I send lings to don't have to do the wait thing to get their file.

Why not use an existing spare PC and setup a Windows Home Server. You can access it remotely via either a web based interface ( http: address) or a SSL link ( https: address). Additionally there is a Web Folder add-in to get files to/from the WHS.

The upside is you control the server and data and don't need to depend on a third-party. The obvious downside it costs a few $$$$ to purchase the software so it does not meet your free requirement... 
You could also simply setup a VPN or SSH server on one of your home PCs for secure remote file access. SSL-Explorer, OpenVPN and/or copSSH (a free windows SSH server installer package) with either the Tunnelier or WinSCP SSH clients would all work. All of those options are free...

|  I am looking for a free online file storage+sync service...
I just want to save some small files I come across at work and I want them to sync to home PC's HD (and preferably also so I could access them online...)
I have seen a number of companies offering 1GB or so of storage space...
Something that is like xdrive.com...
Thank you all... |
