Online storage is a phenomenon that did not even exist a couple of decades ago. However, the surge of personal computer use and digital camera use means that having a reliable backup is a must. It’s nice to have things backed up on a CD at home, however if your home were completely destroyed, you would lose your backup as well as the original. Therefore offsite storage is critical.
Any type of storage runs the regular risk of destruction from perils like fire, flood, storm damage, explosion, natural disasters and theft. However electronic storage also has an additional peril that threatens it, one that strikes more often than the other risks. It is file corruption. Viruses, worms, spyware and other destructive computer phenomena cause files to become irreparably damaged. By stepping up your data protection by opting for online storage in addition to hard storage, you will be able to put unparalleled insurance in place for your important electronic data.
Online storage is simple and convenient. You do not need to burn CDs or bring your files anywhere. It is simply a transfer of soft file copies from your own computer to the online storage site’s computer.

There are ways to get major savings on such online storage. You can even get free online storage if you know what to do.

2. You can even set up accounts with multiple companies that offer free storage space to new members. Just be sure to keep track of where you have your information and the login names and passwords for each.
