Battle of the Free Online Storages (Includes Comparison Table)

September 02, 2008

There are lots of new shiny online storage services pumping out of the ground recently, some in closed or public alphas / betas, some open for everyone or even final.

You might wonder why big services like box.net or Sugarsync are not included. This is because I only added providers to this list which fulfil these criteria:

• A free account (no 14-day trials and so on)
• No file extension restriction

Why did I made this list? I searched for a storage service with which I can do these things:

• Backup some important data and MySQL dumps of my OpenBSD home server (automatically)
• Backup other data of my desktop linux machine (manually)

Most of the services are open for all, whether they’re in beta or public. Only Dropbox and Omnidrive are closed (but for Dropbox you can get in if you get invited of an already registered user).

1. ADrive
2. Allmydata
3. Dropbox
4. esnips
5. FilesAnywhere
6. Freepository
7. GMail
8. mozy
9. Omnidrive
10. MyDrive
11. steekR
12. Syncplicity
13. Wuala

So after all, here is a comprehensive list of 13 different online storage services …
