OT any recommendations for free large drop box

[Art Kendall]

This is OT.



I have files or folders that could be up to .7 Gigabytes.  That are too large to email.
Do any of the list members have recommendations for "drop box" websites?

Hi Art,

I haven't had to look into these types of services in a while
(anybody remember Xdrive?) because NYU uses Gmail
and Google provides unlimited storage in the could.
However, I did a search for article that summarize key
features of cloud-based storage service and you might
want to take a look at the following (they're in no particular
order):
http://www.adweek.com/socialtimes/top-15-free-online-file-storage-sites-2/118251

http://www.networkworld.com/article/2932962/cloud-storage/19-free-cloud-storage-options.html

http://www.1mtb.com/top-10-best-free-online-cloud-storage-services/

The last article is interesting for two reasons:
(1)  It has a suggested service that is now crossed (strikethrough
font) and has a note saying the security of information on
service was somewhat iffy, a consideration that did not
come to mind (at least for me because I thought that such
services would make sure files stored in the cloud would
be secure)
and
(2) There are two Chinese cloud services (#9 and #10) that
offer free storage in the terabyte range.  If you feel comfortable
about using a Chinese service, then one of these might be
for you (they are Tencent Weiyun and Qihoo 360 Yunpan).
Then again, if you're dealing with data that reveals the location
of nuclear missiles in the U.S. and elsewhere, you might not
want to use any storage service, just zip/pack/reduce that
file and triple encrypt it.

HTH.

P.S. Though I have access to Google Drive via NYU, I also
have a Dropbox account that I don't use much.  Note that if
you refer a friend to Dropbox, they up your storage limit to
18 Gigabytes -- you might consider getting their free 2 Gig
account and then refer a friend to get the upgrade.
