One can’t underscore the importance of backing up data. We have all had a terrible experience when we have lost our data. Of course there are hard drives, and other data back solutions. Lately online storage solutions like Box.net and Xdrive, DivShare, Crashplan, and Dropboks have become popular. Add hosted file service for sending large data files called YouBackItUp to this ever growing list of solutions.
Similar to YouSendIt and senduit, YouBackItUp holds your uploaded files for up to 20 days, and provides a link for downloading. This free ad supported service can be used for sending large files that they cannot receive over email. You can also use this service as a temporary backup solution if you are switching computers and have to transfer large files to different locations.
Drag the files you want to temporarily archive onto the Java uploading square in your browser on YouBackItUp.com, and grab the unique URL that is supplied or email it to yourself from the form supplied. No logging in or remembering passwords required and you have a cheap and easy data backup or transfer solution.
Simply visit the URL and download away. Just remember to grab the data before your 20 days is up. Is the data you upload secure? That’s another question, there is no company or security information supplied on the site.
