Recently I realized I'd reached a semi nutty level of drive storage and I started to transition to cloud based storage. I had two drives fail on the same day which was unprecedented and it made me reconsider my entire strategy. So going from ...

and trimming everything down a bit, which took a couple of weeks to be honest. I'd kept stuff that I just had no use for and it was time to clear it out. I burned anything I thought I might need later to DVD and current stuff all went to a new PRO 100 PLAN at DROPBOX.com

I've got 100 Gigs online at dropbox and after cleaning house, I've reduced all my data to less than half that!! I didn't realize how much stuff I'd just kept around just in case and I had two copies of ALL OF IT. Because I had a backup drive for every drive I had running. So I was duplicating data that I didn't use anymore.

What's great about cloud storage is that they do the backups for you and you can have access to all the files on any computer you have. I must say, this transition has really allowed me to see the value of "cloud storage" in a practical, daily, kind of way. The plan runs around $10 a month which is around $120 per year so we will see how it goes as things progress smile.gif

Anyone else jumped in to the cloud?
