Free online storage that doesn't need software on PC?

Hi everyone,

Doing some travelling over the next couple of months, and would like to have the option to backup photos etc while we're away.

There seem to be a number of free online backup services but they all seem to need some software client installing on the PC you are sending it from. A lot of the time we will be based with family and I'm not happy to be installing software on their PC, just use their broadband to get my photos onto the cloud!

Anyone know of any possibly methods of doing this e.g. through a website entry or similar?

Thanks

There are a few free sites listed here: http://www.free-webhosts.com/free-file-hosting.php
and http://feedbus.com/freestorage/ I haven't used any of them at all so I can't if they are any good. Facebook is an option, create an album and set that as private (yourself) or limited to a family member (if they're on Facebook).
Another option is to use free file hosting sites such as Sendfile and Megaupload, you can upload the photos to those sites in a password zipped file, save the generated URL and then download the files again at a different location.

does the ISP you're with have online storage included as part of your package?
Also I believe Windows Live Messenger has free online storage with the hotmail account

Any of these do?

Attach the photos to an email and send it to yourself. You will then have a copy of these photos either on your email provider (Hotmail, Gmail) or your ISPs mail server...
