    Free cloud storage review from Steve Gibson; https://www.grc.com/sn/sn-349.htm

    SpiderOak provides an easy, secure and consolidated free online backup, sync, sharing, access & storage solution for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora & openSUSE) 2 GBs Free / $10 per 100 GBs / Unlimited devices (Gibson SoA)

    SugarSync 5Gb

    Windows Live Skydrive gives 5Gb

    (Warning: MS has modified it's 'rights' to siphon data from your Skydrive account!

    See: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/09/03/microsoft_...

    If you have Zone Alarm firewall, there's now a free, 2Gb cloud storage.

    Google Drive, a free-if-you-just-need-5GB-of-storage; https://drive.google.com/start?continue=https://dr...

    (with attendant privacy issues, like all Google products; user beware)

    For max security and privacy, data should be encrypted before sending, independent of any site involvement with that phase.

    Use a solid 'on-board' utility for this, and practice a couple of times with some nondescript file to master the entire process so you know for certain you can get your files back.

    That would be: file encrypt> upload>download> decrypt & verify.

    Once proficient, go ahead with the more delicate file work.

    "Duplicati" is a free backup client that securely stores encrypted, incremental, compressed backups bound for cloud storage service.

    Works with most services.

    AES-256 encryption.

    A built-in scheduler with various options like filters, deletion rules, transfer and bandwidth options to run backups for specific purposes.

    LOW COST: Amazon Glacier is an extremely low-cost storage service that provides secure and durable storage for data archiving and backup. In order to keep costs low, Amazon Glacier is optimized for data that is infrequently accessed and for which retrieval times of several hours are suitable." "$0.01 per gigabyte per month."

    Use this for files that don't need immediate interactive work.
