I created an account there, not sure if I have the settings right though, I do not want others viewing the files just relatives. I saw nothering asking me for a password to protect the files, where would this be? It created a folder called "my4share " or something like that and it is marked "do not share"folder..under permissions, under files, view all files is checked, is this correct? thanks christy ----- Original Message ----- From: "g.imrie" <g.imrie@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, January 01, 2009 4:38 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: storage question Christy There are literally thousands of different providers for this out there, but I'd personally recommend using something like 4-Shared (http://www.4shared.com). You have to register with the site (it's free), but the point I like about this service is that you can hide the folders/files from public view, and password protect the archive before mounting. This means that, even should someone stumble across the file, they won't be able to access it without the password. The service gives you 5Gb of storage to play with per email address, which should be more than ample for what you are planning. You're then provided with a link to the uploaded file which you can email to your sister. All she does is click on the link and she's taken to the file which she then downloads onto her system. If you have any problems with the service, don't hesitate to email me on or offlist and I'll do what I can to help. Happy New Year to all members of this fantastic little group.
