There were several others in the area, but when I saw the reviews online and made several calls to different companies, I decided to go with them.storage in Wynnumhttp://www.fortlyttonselfstorage.com.au/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-38631655169680868152013-06-06T10:59:48.243-07:002013-06-06T10:59:48.243-07:00I'm sorry that such a terrible thing has happe...I'm sorry that such a terrible thing has happened to you, James. Backing up your files online has never been more convenient with our technology today. The security of your files should undoubtedly be a top priority for these programs.

So the storage limit is roughly the same for both services. Also, there is no bandwidth limit in either of the servies. <a href="http://www.acnc.com" rel="nofollow">www.acnc.com</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09988824537426226265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-22964146387151438802012-08-10T00:41:30.855-07:002012-08-10T00:41:30.855-07:00Hello,

The cloud storage utilizes internet services as a means of saving data to an off-site storage system that is maintained by a third party provider. It is important to ensure that the storage solution you use will automatically backup files and data you store.

And being paranoid, sometimes, is a good thing. What happened should be a lesson. Though cloud storage has been and is continually providing support in the aspect of data storage for personal and business purposes, some failure in technicalities can still occur.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.dsiltd.co.uk/services.htm" rel="nofollow">Lakisha Rubert</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01562974754557255318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-89717134350361720772012-07-19T16:51:40.715-07:002012-07-19T16:51:40.715-07:00I have not trusted the Cloud at all, not only beca...I have not trusted the Cloud at all, not only because of the possibility of loss of data but also because I just do not think my information is secure in the sense of safe from theft. As an undergraduate student doing advanced individual research, I wanted my analyses, arguments, and conclusions to be mine until I published them. Maybe I am a bit paranoid, but I think that at times a little paranoia is a healthy thing!<br /><br />The university where I did my undergraduate work uses Skydrive. I have used it minimally, such as when I had a presentation for a class. It was just too easy to upload the presentation file to the Skydrive, then access it through my e-mail on the classroom computer. I deleted anything I put in the Skydrive as soon as I did not need it anymore.<br /><br />The university where I will be doing my graduate work uses Google for e-mail and other functions, including data storage. I trust that even less. I may just revert back to carrying my presentations on a thumb drive. Or, since I have e-mail (and the Skydrive) for life from the university where I did my undergraduate work, I might just use that!<br /><br />But at bottom, I do not use the cloud except in very limited and brief ways. I have all my data files on a portable hard drive that was designed to Department of Defense specifications -- I could run over it with my car and it would still function. And I back up to DVDs periodically.<br /><br />For library and archival research, whether for my academic research or personal genealogy, I do not mind in the least carrying my laptop computer. It works best for me.Karen Packard Rhodeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641711434283636830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-89661761818366333032012-07-19T16:36:44.253-07:002012-07-19T16:36:44.253-07:00While reading your experience, James, I was thinki...While reading your experience, James, I was thinking of Joshua Taylor's RootsTech talk about the trustworthiness of cloud storage.

Things out there can disappear in the flash of light. I also would not put anything out there that I would not want to see on the front page of the newspaper, especially financial information. I have genealogy things stored on Dropbox. What I like about that is I can retrieve it on my smartphone. This saves a lot of paperwork being dragged about when I research. I still have the paperwork in files.<br /><br />I have back ups on an external hard drive, but I suppose that can disappear in another instant.<br /><br />My third back up is on a DVD.Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02714440790407126206noreply@blogger.com
