Web file hosting options
Listed below are several options for saving your files to “the cloud” (i.e. on the web). The advantage of cloud-saving, as opposed to saving to your computer or a flash drive, is universal accessibility to your files wherever you have an internet connection. Cloud storage removes the need for physical access to your desktop or a storage device…any computer is, in essence, “your” computer. In addition, some tools (such as Google’s Drive) combine storage with productivity interfaces, allowing instant multiple-user collaboration.
