The joy of online file storage

One thing I’ve learned to love – since I started using dropbox, around 3 months ago – is how useful those ‘Online Backup’ websites are.

Right now I have an account on 3 different sites – ADrive, Dropbox and SpiderOak (referral link, we both get 1 extra GB) – and since ADrive offers 50Gbytes for free – not that I really believe I’ll be able to use them – it can be considered my ‘main’ one, storing five compressed backups of my websites and my projects and a few misc things, Dropbox is used to store the latest – compressed – backup of my websites and my projects (until the projects folder grows too large…) and some small documents – due to dropbox syncing stuff, which is nice – and SpiderOak stores an uncompressed version of my projects folder (which is only 1gbyte for now). All of that using a connection with 1mbit of upload, yes, I’m a very patient guy when I want.

Now, obviously I’m waiting for the day when I’ll need to retrieve those files for some reason and then I’ll find out why those are free.
