1. Google Docs. I guess there is no need for intro.

Unfortunately there are some limitations like storage size. Moreover, Google Docs does not give you actual storage as all files are converted to Google's own internal formats.
2. Dropbox. The service enables users to store and sync files online and between computers

I really liked their service except for 2 things: you can get only 2 GB storage space free of charge and the most important drawback is the fact that you should install Dropbox software. However, these issues could be ignored ))
3. Office Live Workspace

Office Live Workspace is a free service for storing and sharing documents online. In my opinion, it's more like Google Docs (even more I would say competing solutions :) ) Having 5 GB limit for storage and 25 Mb for upload, and allowing to upload only MS Office docs , this service made me feel myself really miserable without the pen drive ((.
4. 25GB of Free Online Storage - Windows Live SkyDrive

Hooray!! This is really impressing! Yet there are still big drawbacks (( Here is the comment from YouTube,
"i thought wow cool online storage exactly what i need to save my data and get access to it when i travel or share with my sister
but then: BIG disapointment:
why is the limit to upload at once set on only 50MB?
they guy in that video is talking about the foldercontent like favorites, fotos or VIDEOS
so how can I upload a video, if there is this tiny limit??
what for are 25 GB if you can not use it as a storage for big data?"

5. If you have good suggestions about how I can deal without my pen drive please, let me know ))
PS. If you are wondering how this is related to eMarketing just forgot )) I need my pen drive back or at least the replacement. Joking ))
