Your Documents Online

I will start my BaeL course on the 24th of this month.
I am looking for a place online to store files.

I found that as I am working from different computers at the cyber cafe my USB is getting messy with all the documents I create in one computer and then in another.
I decided to save everything on my USB to avoid having different documents on the same subject. I learned the hard way that it was not a wise decision because once my USB got a bug and I lost all the content.

I saw then that my best option was to store my files online, if I get collaboration, which it does not seem to be the case for this first online course due to bad timing, then it will be easy to share those documents.

At FileDen you have:
Hotlinking allowed for all allowed file extensions, including videos and music files.
1GB of personal storage space.
A 50mb maximum file size limit
5GB of monthly bandwidth

At BoxNet you have:
Upload files to your Box
Upload large documents, photos, spreadsheets, videos, or zip files to your personal online space.
Access files from any computer
Create shared folders on Box to collaborate with clients, colleagues, and friends.
Edit documents and photos online
With OpenBox Services, you can edit your documents and photos directly from the web.

At GoogleDocs you have:
Create basic documents from scratch.
You can easily do all the basics, including making bulleted lists, sorting by columns, adding tables, images, comments, formulas, changing fonts and more. And it's free.

Upload your existing files.
Google Docs accepts most popular file formats, including DOC, XLS, ODT, ODS, RTF, CSV, PPT, etc. So go ahead and upload your existing files.

Familiar desktop feel makes editing a breeze.
Just click the toolbar buttons to bold, underline, indent, change font or number format, change cell background color and so on.

Dear Maru,
Thanks for leaving such a kind comment in my blog. I found the link to that amazing video on education in the WIA yahoo group, posted by Susana Canelo.
Now, YOU have done an amazing job here, keeping track of so many different tools and applications. I had intended to do something similar in a wiki I had started, but then couldn't find the time to continue working at it in all the hustle and bustle of the BaW sessions.
Always a pleasure to talk to you. Let's keep in touch.
Hugs,
Mary from Rosario, Argentina (there's another Mary I and keep receiving answers to her posts :D)
