Unfortunately, many of us are still stuck with 56k modems and old computers. Even with patience, there can still be a major problem for some P2P junkies. Large amounts of Mp3 and video files can take up significant disk space. Many of us will find our selves deleting and re-downloading files over time. With “streaming” technology it is possibly to store you files online, delete them from you computer, and watch them from any computer without a download. Fortunately, there are companies aiming to just this. The idea of an “Internet hard drive” has been around for some time. Yahoo briefcase for example, hosted all types of files but was geared more towards professional businesses, not individuals. Because services like Yahoo briefcase now charge users, we are left seeking free alternatives. Two great services are My Play and Stream Load.
Myplay- Offers 3 Gigs of space for free. Yes, Gigs. You may upload your files through the Myplay website or with a small software download.
