Free Online Backup and File Sharing :: BeInSync

There’s an interesting new service from BeInSync.com that might not be the most innovative idea on the planet - but it certainly is convenient.

You can sync two computers with up to 1GB of file sharing space with BeInSync’s free level of service. To jump up to 5GB and 5 computers, it’s only $5 a month (easy to remember, eh?!).

I could have totally used this when I did a lot of freelance work as a designer, or when I worked in an office and needed to take projects home. Emailing myself files or burning lots of CDs was a pain. 1GB is a pretty generous amount of storage.

Actually, as I’m writing this post, I’m realizing that even though I hardly use files anymore, my other desktop and laptop are no longer with us. :’( If this computer died I would be up a creek without a paddle and I would only have backups of my blog - no image files, business plan, photos, drafts, email archives, Nada. Zilch.

OK. I’ve sufficiently scared myself into signing up. You might now be interested too!
