Looking For A Secure Online Storage Service

Creating a backup for your computer is very important and where you decide to store it is as important. That's why if you decide to store your backup online you need to find a secure online storage service. With all the competition online you will find very good companies that provide secure storage space and most of them will seem appealing to you but only very few of them will provide you with the security you need. We will look at three different companies that are among the best in the industry and you'll quickly understand why they're so great.

First off, Xdrive is a very secure online storage service. What makes this company so unique is on top of answering all your backup needs it also answers to your more personal needs such as convenience. Xdrive offers a unique interface so that no matter how ignorant you may be of computer knowledge, backing up your files will be a piece of cake. The best part in all of this, is you can have a free account that will have 5 GB of storage space that will never expire so you can actually get a taste of what the real service is like.

Another great secure online storage company would be freedrive.com and unlike most "free" stuff online this one is actually free. By creating an account with them you get access to 6 GB of storage and uploads of files up to 1 GB which is about the size of a movie. Of course they even offer public directories which allows you to share files without having to create an account. If you like their services and want more, you will unfortunately have to wait a while and they are implementing a premium access that will probably increase your storage space, uploads and much more.

Last but not least, this is one secure online storage company that has been providing the best storage devices for over a decade. Iomega Istorage is the online storage part of the company. If you decide to store your data with them you can be assured that you will never lose any more data. Although they do boast the best service, they also have the most expensive plans for home users or business users. Just to give you an idea, for a 5 GB storage space account it will cost you between 19 and $25 per month which is already too much compared to the last two companies which offered the account for free.

If you base your decisions for a secure online storage service according to price you might be deceived. The three case studies mentioned above is proof that price plays a very small part in your storage company. Instead you should focus more on features included such as security, convenience, upload speed, download speed and support. As long as you make your decision according to your personal preferences, the price should not be a barrier for you.
