Thanks for the tips.
I'm trying to write something simple for students in computer labs and
students studying remotely, on how to save a file for use on another
computer. This has become a remarkably complex operation since the days of
saving to A:\ .
.and the cap it off, the Windows Vista Save As screen is a noticeable
shambles compared to Windows XP.
Free online storage is an obvious way to go, and I have set up Office live
and Windows Live for myself, but they are complicated and clunky at this
stage. Mozy seems to be easier as long as you keep under the 2Gb allowance
before they start charging.

Hi Christine
I have a list of online backup sites in this blog post:
http://cybertext.wordpress.com/2008/01/20/online-backup-sites/
Don't forget Gmail! If they have a Gmail account, they can send the file to
themselves. Gmail offers several GB of storage space for emails and their
attachments. Free.
If they need to share the files, you could go reasonably low tech and set up
a Yahoo Group and allow File access. Members can post files to the File
folder and other members can access them. Free.

Hi Guys
Has anyone been using on-line file storage? I want to write some
instructions for students to store their files on-line so that they can
access them from any computer.
I have set up Windows Live and Office Live, both of which offer storage,
however they are very cumbersome to set up and use as they have so many
other unnecessary features.
I would prefer something simple that either has only storage, or only
storage and shared access.
Does anyone know of a simple option for free on-line storage where it is
only a few keystrokes to set it up and operate it?
Regards
Christine
