There were a bunch of these services around, usually having a name like
something-Drive. X-Drive was one, with several others following a similar
nomenclature. They typically offered in the neighborhood of 50+ meg.s of online
storage, for a range from free to some modest cost. Like many other internet
business models that never panned out, these sites seemed to have merged,
disappeared, or become distinctly un-free by the time I got around to checking
them out. Not sure what's around currently, but try a Google search for "free
online storage," and if nothing promising turns up, drop the "free." One thing
you might want to consider is whether you think the service is going to still be
around a month from now, and what the security issues re whatever you store there
may be, if these are important factors.
