I'm currently using an English site called Humyo.com fpr online storage. I liked it because it was free and had good storage space size. 5GB's for data and 5GBs for media. I've decided to go to a paid for service and will probably use mozy which offers unlimited storage for under $5 a month. I wondered if anyone here has any feedback on it, or any other backup/storage service. With 115Gb's of music files and one maybe two of my hard drives slowing down I need something.

I've read that Mozy is high quality when it comes to online storage probably the best. But I don't know if the reports were biased. They were on different Pc magazines though.

I use the M$ Live Sky Drive whatever the hell its name is. That plus a tool that allows me to use it like any other "hdd" straight from my computer. Works well for sharing files.

I use Windows Live Sync, but as the name implies, it's namely for syncing several folders between my laptop and my desktop. It does a good job at it though considering it's cross O.S.

Not especially keen on storing too much online really, what happens if I lose my interenet connection.

Not really. You should be able to access your files from any computer. The Humyo service also allows you to mark files private or public if you want to share them. Mozy allows you to use a personal 256bit encryption or their 400 something bit encryption. But they require software installed on the computer which I am not really crazy about. But I'm just looking at the free service now before I buy into it. I'm not sure what features are lost or gained as you move up to a paid home service or paid enterprise service.
