Rahul : Hey vinayak I need a favor

Vinayak : Tell me dude.

Rahul : I have an interview next week in IIM – B .

Vinayak : great!

Rahul : I needed the report of our project which we did in our final year of engineering. I don’t have a copy with me. Can you please find it for me?

Vinayak : L I myself am not able to find a copy, it was there in PC but the harddisk crashed. Sorry dude cant help you, we should have been a bit careful about it.

Hope you got what the problem is. I have faced this problem, of all of us face. How to back up important data and share them?. So was just thinking what can be done about this. I felt I can recommend this microsofts skydrive, where you can store your data online. It will also be easier for the project team to work if there is a single place where data is maintained.  This site allows upto 5gb of online storage.

Here is the link

I picked up the details from msn site. These are few of the salient features

Always where you need them

• 5GB of free online storage, available from any computer with Internet access.
• Create personal, shared, and public folders -- you decide who has access to each folder.
• Folders work well on any Windows or Macintosh computer with Firefox 1.5 or higher, or Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher.

• How we help protect your files

• Your personal folders are password-protected with your Windows Live ID, so only you have access.
• When you create a shared folder, the friends you're sharing with need to sign in with their own Windows Live ID and password.
• Just like at your online bank, all file transfers are protected using Secure Socket Layers (SSL).
  • Personal
• Use personal folders to back up important files that are only for you.
• Get to your files from any computer with Internet access by signing in with your Windows Live ID.

   

• Shared

• Shared folders make it easy to collaborate with coworkers or classmates.
• You decide how much control each person has over each shared folder. Some can just read what's there: others can add and delete files.
• Everyone who is sharing uses their own Windows Live ID.

   

• Public

•  With public folders, anyone on the Internet can view your files, but they can't change them.

  •  Want to show your public files to others? Just send them a link! Each folder and file has its own web address.
