Looking for a simple and cheap way of storing pictures and a few files.
Any ideas?
drop box or ubuntu one
+1 for drop box
I use it like you would use your "My Documents" folder.
+1 here for dropbox, 2gb free storage...
If it's mostly photos and a few files, you may be best off with a Flickr pro account and a freebie Dropbox one. Works well for me.
If you want end to end encryption (from a reputable company) Spideroak and Wuala are both great. Use both (personally and professionally), the Wuala one is especially good as you can increase your free allowance by 10gb for each Lacie disk that you buy. Both Wuala and Spideroak function better than Dropbox IMHO.
I've been using cx.com - same as dropbox but you get 10Gb for free.
If you use this link to register we both get 300Mb extra;

Dropbox for files and Picasa for photos
How much data? You get 1GB free with google docs.
You can get 20GB free with SkyDrive microsofts hotmail linked option.
