Freely Hosted Personal Files On Demand
Author: Word Content

Back in the mid 90's, a computer with a 200-megabyte hard drive
was good enough for us and one with 300 to 400 megabyte would
impress even the computer geeks. I remember the high-pitched
sound they made indicating their excitement with the hardware.
Ahh, those were the good old simple days. At the present time,
that number does not even begin to cover the digital realty
needed for standard operating systems like Windows XP or MAC
OSX to reside in. Don't get me started on the popular
applications today because they are absolutely storage space
hogs. Floppy disk drives and diskettes with 1.44 megabyte
storage room are almost extinct and the standard capacity of
hard drives that comes with new computer systems are in the 80
to 100 gigabytes range. How's that for technological
advancement? Also in vogue are flash drives with 512 megabytes
to 1-gigabyte capacity. These small and portable devices are
great for moving files to and from another computer, if you
need to share data with a peer or if you want to backup your
files. I remember the days when I had to "span" floppy
diskettes just to move a 2-megabyte file thereby using two
floppies. If you think that was bad, try backing up large data
files and a box of floppies wouldn't be enough.

Storage isn't much of a problem now. If you have a decent
broadband Internet connection at home or at the office, you can
store an almost indefinite number of files online. Think
terabytes. If you have the bandwidth, then the cyberworld is
your oyster when it comes to data storage. But who needs a
virtually limitless storage space? Well, some people like to
store files like movie clips, video recordings and applications
online and retrieve them later on when they need them. So how
would you go about doing the same thing? Look for a website
that would serve as your online storehouse. Most would offer
their services for free with an option to pay for an upgrade
that would mean more storage space and other advanced features.
Some would require you to register before you can use their
service, while in others, you can start uploading or
downloading immediately without requiring you to register.
Personally, I prefer the latter because of the anonymity that
it grants.

The whole idea of being able to access your files anywhere in
the world and at anytime so long as you have a computer and an
Internet connection is truly amazing. For me, it even borders
on the ingenious. This concept isn't actually new, it's been
around for sometime but only recently is this service available
to the general public. Data like pictures, documents,
executables, mp3's and wav recordings are the most common files
that we use in our day-to-day activities involving the computer
and the web. Storing these files online will in all likelihood
make them omnipresent. I am certain that by now you would have
thought of some use for this innovative service. So start
uploading your files to your own personal data repository and
just download them anytime you see fit to do so.
