Is there any "not trial but free" online large file storage out there my files is about 700MB - 1GB in size...

Curlyben

Yep there sure is.

Gmail from Google can be used for just the purpose.
If you need an invite PM me and I'll arrange one for you.

You must bear in mind that an upload of that size will take HOURS !!!

As a side, this type of question would be better posted in the Technology boards rather than here

Great idea for a freebie!

...except that your ISP may limit the size of your outgoing mail...so check into that before you try sending a xxMB file or folder.

...and you might find organizing them and accessing them easily may be a bit of a hassle.

There's alot of "online file storage" sites that charge money, as you know, but a cheap (not free) alternative to them would be to get web hosting and ftp files to your server.

GoDaddy has 5GB for $75 every two years (or $43 for per year).

[I don't use them, so don't endorse them for site hosting]

HI,
Here is a link to a free storage site for up to 1 Gig:

Personally, I think you would do better if you have a CD-R or dvd burner in your computer. You can burn your files to a dvd or CD-R. My own CD-R burner was less than $50 US, and I keep all my backup files in that manner.
Best of luck.

Good find on the freebie, fred!

Thanks, rickj.
Have a good one.

Here is a link to what I was refering to.
Gmail Drive

It allows you to use your Gmail account as a virtual drive on your internet connected computer

As Gmail is currently offering 2.6 Gig of storage this should be more than enough

RickJ

Wow, too cool! I didn't know they had that!

Curlyben

You really should try and keep up Rick
