10 Great Online File Storage websites  Keeping Your Files Safe and Accessible

In today’s market, computers come with an ever-expanding amount of file storage capacity. Sometimes, however, it is essential to find other means of storage, especially for backups and universal availability. Today we have the choice between purchasing an external hard drive (USB, SAN etc.) or storing files online. While external hard drives are not that expensive any more, they only provide access to your data if they are physically available. Further in a situation where your data get compromised, for whatever reason, having the backup drive under the same roof may not be the best option.
