5 Free Services to Save Files on the Web to your Cloud Storage

There are many free web based file hosting services.The most popular one is Dropbox.It offers many great features including 2 GB of free space.There are similar services like Spideroak,SugarSync etc.

The best part about these free file hosting services is that they use cloud computing to enable users to share and synchronize files and folders across the internet.Hence these services are called Cloud Storage.

In my college when there are many users simultaneously accessing the internet, downloading files becomes a pain.Many times there are restriction on files downloads.It would have been nice if there was a option to download files on the web directly to my DropBox or other free cloud storage accounts.I can then go home and download the files from my DropBox account.
Another advantage of downloading files from cloud storage account is that you get very good speeds.
