File storage and sharing in the cloud. 20Gb storage free.

"The Public Domain Review is a not-for-profit project dedicated to showcasing the most interesting and unusual out-of-copyright works available online.  All works eventually fall out of copyright - from classic works of art, music and literature, to abandoned drafts, tentative plans, and overlooked fragments. In doing so they enter the public domain, a vast commons of material that everyone is free to enjoy, share and build upon without restriction.  We believe the public domain is an invaluable and indispensable good, which - like our natural environment and our physical heritage - deserves to be explicitly recognised, protected and appreciated.  The Public Domain Review aims to help its readers to explore this rich terrain - like a small exhibition gallery at the entrance of an immense network of archives and storage rooms that lie beyond.

"...a new breakthrough update means that not only is its physical footprint massively reduced, but also its cost. Depending on the amount of storage space required for files, for less than $50 anyone can now run a PirateBox wireless file-sharing system."

"If we think of OERs as we think of physical artifacts, we might focus on their design, production, storage and distribution. We could quantify their number, calculate their popularity, and track their use. However, in open, distributed, networked learning environments, the emphasis is not be on the resources but on the engagement between participants who create, use, modify, and share experiences."

Use IFTTT to grab all sorts of data to your Google Drive - either into Docs (eg Tweets) or just into storage (eg Flickr or Instagram images)

A holding page for the BBC's 1984 Domesday Project. The project is now unavailable due to the digital obselesence of equipment and storage media.

Delicious taking a lot of flak on social media after the relaunch. Will they get it right or fizzle out? More arguments for local storage with web services to join people and artifacts.

Service that backs up lots of cloud apps for you. Seems to work too!  Free a/c available.

Changing the focus of Docs. Recently users were allowed to add any file to their Docs space - this project will make that a primary function, bit like MS Skydrive maybe.

Interesting service - an 'Internet OS' - which replicates and extends some of the Google Applications.

"Tonido is a software and service that once installed on any computer (Windows, Linux or Mac), can make files and media in that computer available anywhere through a web browser or from mobile phones."
