Beware. It sounds like they deactivate your account if you do not login for 30 days.

For the purpose of moving bits between home and work, that seems a lot more convenient.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19654148 Wed, 19 Dec 2007 21:17:37 EDT Re: Best free online file storage/sync? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19653728 sansri88 : 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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19653728 Wed, 19 Dec 2007 20:08:41 EDT Re: Best free online file storage/sync? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19651774 HolmanGT : 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.

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 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...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19650051 Wed, 19 Dec 2007 10:04:37 EDT
