Don’t want to spend money and installation hassles on new storage hardware for your precious media? Whether it’s for sharing memories in the form of digital photos and videos over the web—or just practical documents you want to protect against that all-too-common hard disk crash, these six services offer secure, and often free, ways to back up your files and get access to them anywhere. The services also provide a way to share your data with others without sending huge email attachments. Most of them offer drag-and-drop for easy uploading.

One advantage of online storage is that it’s mostly platform-independent: You can access it through any computer with a web browser. And many of these services go beyond mere storage, offering application functionality such as the ability to lightly edit pictures and documents. With all these services, you’ll get at least a gigabyte of free space, which you can use for those files you want anywhere-access to.
