    Hiya Everybody!

    Well it looks like I may need to reformat my hard drive but I'm way too broke to even get some blank cds or floppys to back up A LOT of mp3s that took me the better half of a year to collect. I don't want to lose them. [​IMG] Is there any place online that lets you store data for free until I have the drive done and can put it back onto it?

    I would sooooooooooooo totally appreciate any info or suggestions!

    Thanks a bunch! [​IMG]

    What sort of size will all these files be, typically free online storage has limits from 10mb~10GB*

    what speed is your internet connection, if not quick could take an age to upload GBs of files and not very practical.

    A few storage locations off hand
    http://www.dropload.com/ ( 7 day limit, then files get wiped )
    http://www.streamload.com ( click the Big Red sign for options and free option )

    If you have Gmail then theirs GMail Drive http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4405.html

    Other options...
    Can or does friend have spare Hard Drive they could slave to yours, backup your files until you've re-installed then put them back... this method wouldnt take too long.

    Would a freind have a few CDRWs you could borrow to save files to, once re-installed and restored files then you'd just erase the CDRW and hand them back.

    Ps. I wouldnt say any online storage is 100% safe and would advocate if at all possible using the other options listed above.



    *the 10gb one is a Free Streamload account that has a 100mb/mth up/download limit
