IBACKUP (ONLINE BACKUP SERVICE)
Storing Data offsite is the best way to secure data against unforseen calamities. Backing Data Online offers the added advantage that you can simply download your backed up data anywhere you've got access to the internet.
IBackup is one such a service. It offers the following - MultiMedia Streaming, Browser-Based File Management, and File Sharing. A great feature of this software is that
it does not require your friends to open an IBackup account to view files you want to share with them.
The service's IDrive feature maps your IBackup files to a network drive. This lets you drag and drop files between the two.

ONLINE FILE FOLDER (ONLINE STORAGE SERVICE)
Online File Folder by GoDaddy is most probably the best Online Storage service currently. It's very well organised. It
is clean and business like. It has an Explorer-style web interface which makes file management a breeze.
You can map the service as a network place in windows. This allows you to transfer files and folders by dragging and dropping them from within Explorer.
This is the only service that we know that lets you zip and encrypt your files via the web interface. You can also sync an online folder with a folder on your
desktop. With this feature enabled, updating files on one folder automatically updates the other.
