Is this feasible? (backing up data)

[CGEsq]

Instead of buying an external hard drive to save documents and stuff, could I save them on my gmail daily or weekly instead?  I can buy an external hard drive if I really have to, but I was just wondering if this is a possible and safer option, since technology seems to break on me (I've been through a few cheap digital cameras in two years...)

I suppose gmail could work but it seems like a real pain to me. I signed up for http://www.bingodisk.com/ 10G for $20 a year. Not free but still pretty cheap.

Also - check to see if your school offers you filespace online ... a lot of schools do that (mine does).  Gmail usually works, but it still might be worth it to get a flash drive - they are so easy.  And you can usually get a 2GB memory stick for $20 (which is PLENTY of space for your purposes).

I think I'm gonna use UCfilespace, maybe gmail, and my flash drive ... may sound paranoid, but my hard drive just died (and I had it replaced) a few months ago, so ... losing everything is a reality to me, and I don't want that to happen in law school!

A friend of mine dropped out of college to start www.box.net

Check it out, I think you'll like it.

www.omnidrive.com is pretty cool too as far as online storage goes.
