Best online storage for mp3 and mp4 files

red

Hi all! Does anyone have any ideas of the best place to back-up audio and video files? I am a bit worried that the ones i have found are all sharing sites and may end up lead to files I store being shared illegally...does anyone have any ideas?

could do it the easy way and stick them on an external hard drive.

online you could use the skydrive with hotmail, you get 5gb personal storage space.

I use Carbonite for all of my backup - unlimited storage but approx £50.00 per annum

i use dreamhost.com for my offsite backups/website hosting.

about £7 for the first year with a discount code, then £60 a year afterwards.

gives you ~200gb+ of storage (it increases weekly!) and more bandwidth than you will know what to do with

I've listed a few backup links in the backup sticky http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=597170

I think there are also some subscription based services specifically set up so you can actually listen to your music collection from anywhere online. Can't remember the links though at the moment.

If you don't need to be able to access your files from the internet, an external HDD is probably the most cost effective option.

Webhosting. Not filehosting/backup hosting.

Make sure it's allowable in their T&C that you can use it as backup space. You might find that they're uncomfortable with hosting a lot of copyrighted material as well.

Good luck getting anywhere near 350GB on as well.

bear in mind what ever you use u will have to actually upload the data and that will take a while

btw for all online storage/backups (and i have tried them all) Amazon S3 and JungleDisk working together is the only viable options.

i lost count of how much stuff i have on it and pay $5 a months...

I remembered one of the links. It's http://www.mp3tunes.com/, I think there's a free and subscription service. To sync and backup your music collection and then you can actually stream and listen to your music collection from anywhere.
