Online storage, or remote backup, is a method of hosting your content online, so that you can get to your files from any internet-connected PC.

Benefits of remote backup are obvious; a remotely-accessible backup of your files can be priceless if your regular laptop or PC is unavailable or broken. The files exist online so, the service doesn't care whether you are run Windows, Mac, Linux, or anything other operating system.

Individual online file storage is usually aimed towards people with a need for an off-site storage or backup, for accessing files anywhere online, or just distributing them. Uploading and downloading files can be done from any PC.

Business use has the same key benefits including remote backup and a very low storage cost. Big files, too big for email, can be uploaded to an online storage facility and downloaded by whoever the business gives access. This is useful for times when files are too big to send by email, or too urgent to burn to CD/DVD and send by mail.

Online storage prices are often free for small-scale accounts, and cost a little more depending on your needs. Free accounts usually allow hosting of 2-5GB; paid accounts buy variable the storage and bandwidth options, with prices being extremely competitive.
