Still building my virtual workspace. This time, I am looking for on line storage where I can store all my bibliography in pdf. I just need 3 to 4 Gb and a free account.

I found a review on the web and try some of the service listed.

  • My first try was mediamax. Actually they offer 25 Gb for free. Pretty easy to open an account but I was unable to upload any files. First I can’t install their software and then the online upload (using java) is giving me some troubles. Some it worked with warning and errors from the browser and some time it didn’t. The time is worked, the upload was extremely fast.
  • Then I went for xdrive.com . I had some trouble registering. Actually you need to open a free AOL account to acces xdrive. Since I really don’t need another yahoo-like account, I gave up. But then I couldn’t close my account. Anyway upload is easy and fast (the speed is limited by my side of the connection)
  • Now I am trying esnip. Registration is very fast and smooth. So far, online uploading is ok but it is really slow.
