Service
FilesAnywhere
Price
$8.95 (£5) per monthfor 2GB storage space and backup
Update -- since the time of this writing, the 2GB plan price has increased to 5GB for only $8.95/month.
In a recent article, PCPlus noted that FilesAnywhere "leads the pack by a mile".
PCPlus Magazine awarded FilesAnywhere with the highest rating (Five Stars), and several stamps of approval including the PCPlus Editors Choice and Hotlist awards.
"In terms of raw functionality,
this online backup service leads the pack by a mile: there are so many
features here that it feels more like an online operating system rather
than a simple web GUI.
Yes, you can email files
to your friends and create drop boxes, as with most of the other services
on offer here, but this gives you WebDAV, FTP and Windows drives as
alternative file access methods.
You can rename your files on the server, print from the server, generate slide shows and even set up a primitive file versioning system to keep track of changes.
Despite all of the features that are crammed into the utility, the FilesAnywhere developers have taken the time to craft a smart user interface that is well organised and helpful at every stage.
Through the pop-up help tool to comprehensive documentation, you can find your way around this system in minutes."
