So my laptops toast and it's either going to need a reset or a new hard drive. I've already begun a physical backup, but my second external hdd is currupted, so I need to look into some cloud storage options as a plan B. Any recommendations to save me some browsing? Need something cheap, reliable and short term. Shouldn't need all that much storage. |

Yep, it's your own home cloud storage! It's a most brilliant thing. What's this synology? Google results seem to point towards hardware. And I don't trust clouds for more than one reason, not only security, but also availability, continuity, etc. However, mostly, I don't trust others with my data, especially not large corporations. |

I'm just looking for something reliable to dump my work and files on for about a week incase something happens to my physical back up. Otherwise I would agree, I'm not keen on throwing all my stuff onto the cloud. |

Dropbox offers 2GB for free accounts, and as they sell more space they shouldn't be too unreliable. Using it for a long time myself without any problems. With the Dropbox program you can just put your files into a special folder and it will upload them to the cloud, or on the other PC it will sync with your cloud and download them. Today I even dreamed about Dropbox, it must be a sign!  If you use my referal link I even get some more space for free.  https://db.tt/OTaJcoo

Cheers guys, will check them all out. Currently using Dropbox for file sharing, I'll see how it prices up against the others. |

If you need something for a week, my dropbox has 48 GB spare. I can share a folder with you or something, I'm not really using it. |
