On-Line Storage Sites |
Reasons for Using On-Line Storage: |
1. It is similar to a virtual briefcase - it helps users end the juggling act between hard drives, floppy disks, external drives, and CD-ROM drives. |
2. Users can travel anywhere - from across the room to across the world -with the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your data is secure and waiting for them at any Internet-ready computer. |
3. An invaluable tool that provides users with global access to their data, a secure location to back up critical files, a private place to store your files, and a collaborative space to communicate and share files. |
