IIC Online Storage Solution is a bust. I had nothing but problems uploading, couldn’t log in remotely as promised and now can’t seem to contact Anyone is Customer Service. Emailed them several times, even called them and stayed on hold for over an hour before I simply hung up.

Consumer Alert, this service is a scam.

I am constantly having problem uploading a file of 1.968 gb. FTP site not supporting resumption. Netdrive keeps failing also. Do they have an untold file limit? What’s the file size you usually upload? I have seen many people complaining their no response to emails asking for help.

Onlinestoragesolution.com is the best I have found. They offer everything webdav, ftp, rsync, and an online file manager. Best of all they are only $19 per year for unlimited space and I uploaded 400 Gigs with no problems.

A very cool feature that we find useful, in addition to basic online storage and file sharing, is “push sharing.” Many sites let you make a file available to another user, who can then download it to their computer. But there is only site I have seen that let’s me upload a file (for example, a large video file) and then ‘push share’ the content to other accounts. This saves the other users from having to upload / download the content to have it in their accounts. Also, they can immediately begin streaming the content. This ‘push share’ capability is found on http://www.MyOtherDrive.com.

Hi David, that was a nice post. But I wonder why you have not mentioned IBackup for Windows, which has been the best online backup and storage solution I have seen. There are a slew of `free online storage services’ offering huge amounts of space to store everything from mp3s to videos. But the real story is something different. Many of them are just beta versions and their upload speeds are woefully slow. Some of them even have limits on file download size. Added to all this is the looming threat that one fine morning the backed up data will no longer be there or you will have to pay for the services, which were free earlier. But IBackup for Windows is different in its own way. I think I would not have become their subscriber, had I not tried their free trial. Even with their free trial you can try most of their options like snapshots and backing up open files. This application does backups and restores very fast and most of the operations you do are not at all troublesome. IBackup for Windows functions like a virtual storage drive accessible from anywhere in the world through the Internet. You can also try IDrive, another cool application from the IBackup stable. IDrive has mapped my online account as a local drive on to my computer. I find it very easy to move my music and video files into my IBackup account with just a few clicks. You can play the multimedia files instantaneously in the favorite media player of your choice with IDrive Multimedia . With Web-Manager you can do a lot like create folders, upload, webload files, rename, move, delete and share files or folders with others for collaborative access. You can also Private Share’ feature allows an IBackup user to instantly share data with another IBackup user. Also view the data another user has privately shared with you. You can disable the `Private Share’ feature any time. Need anything more?
