Free Cloud Storage/Backup

Free Cloud Storage/Backup

Utilizing Gladinet and Windows Live SkyDrive, you can have 25 GB free cloud-based storage to backup to (you may even get a sneak preview of the yet to be released Office 2010 web applications), for FREE!

Here’s what you do:

  • Go to http://skydrive.live.com and either sign-in or sign-up
  • Upload a Word/Excel/PowerPoint 2007 document. Select the file you uploaded, click on “Edit” (at the time of this writing, Word was not available)
  • Download Gladinet from here: http://www.gladinet.com/p/download_starter_direct.htm
  • Install the free version
  • Mount a network drive, select Windows SkyDrive and enter your Live credentials
  • Use Comodo backup or SyncBack to setup backups to the newly mounted network drive
    • Weekly/monthly backups may be best as Gladinet limits the number of items that can be transferred per month in the free version.
