I side with Mandy on this one. It's also faster and safer to back it up on your own equipment. Also, if you're the type of person who doesn't regularly back up, you won't do it just because it's available on the "cloud". God, take control of your own destiny.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but it's just a little bit frightening. Also, it's frighteningly slow to upload and download, and could just all disappear in a hackers eyeblink. :s Corporations need documents and lawyers to set up backup drives in third party places, with security clearances etc and red tape. Who's to say that some hacker isn't a member and once they have limited access, the next step is a simple one to get full access to everyone else. (I can hack your computer once you let me get my hands on the attached keyboard.... mwa ha ha) I'll keep it all close to my chest, thanks. ;) Cloud is just big brother in sheeps clothing. </rant> Mandy On 31 March 2011 12:51, jleslie48 <[email protected]> wrote: If you have an account with Amazon, they will give you 5GB of internet disk space to use as you like, You can't transfer whole disk trees, but you can with control A select all the files of a directory and upload them in one shot. Single file size limit is a generous 2GB. Sure beats a memory stick for transferring just a few files. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Papermodels II" group.
