Online Backup Storage to Share Files Anywhere

Best Online Backup File Storage to Access PC Files Anywhere Remote to Share Download and Upload

Storage and disk space have always been a problem since computers were first invented. Organizing files, creating compilation music CDs, cataloging your movie collection, and backing up your files that you hope will be available when you need them; all consume large amounts of your vital virtual reality. Now if that wasn’t enough, after we have gone through all the trouble of moving all these files around, we have to make sure we bring the right CD or thumb drive at the time they are needed. Being randomly deployed and stationed at various bases has only added to the trouble. Thanks to the advancement of fast internet, there is actually a solution that helps organize your files and have all your files at a moments notice known as online storage.

Some sites require you to login and access the files. However, if you really wanted to do this correctly you would create a network drive to a dedicated server, so all you had to do a was click an icon to access the folders. But this requires a lot of money to make sure you have good server with a fast connection and that was very secure and maintained properly. Well with IBackUp all of your storage needs are finally resolved and you have the ability to secure personal data online while having the ability to access your files easily anywhere!

Automated Backup, Folder Synchronization

Easily schedule daily, weekly or monthly automated backups and synchronization of your folders. This means you can synchronize folders from multiple locations, or create automated file transfer jobs. Jobs run automatically as a background service. Simple, wizard-based software is included to automatically schedule your assigned tasks.

Simple, Reliable Uploads using Drag-and-Drop

Just like any other folder on your computer, simply drag and drop anything you want, and it will start uploading immediately. This makes uploading and transferring your files fast and reliable. Firewalls and other security barriers will not be a problem or need to be reconfigured. With other Uploading and FTP services you are wondering if the file was successfully upload or even delivered. This is a reliable option to easily upload your files with out requiring any knowledge about FTP.

WebFolders, Drive Mapping, Direct Edit/Save

Since you have more than enough software already installed, including some unwanted ones that are impossible to get rid of, adding another one is the last thing you want to do. No software installation, you can Open, Edit and Save remote files directly from your applications. Also Copy/Paste or Drag-n-Drop between your local computer and the mapped folders.

Share Files, Folders, Media using Web Links

Now a very important factor is sharing these files by just using a web link. Collaborate and share media or files with family back home or co-workers. This method allows a common sense way to download files. You will be able to not only share your pictures, videos, or files with your friends, but you will also be able to access your files from any computer you are on. At work, internet cafe, or home computer – your files are available.

Receive Uploaded Files From Guests

Your storage, you have the power. Give guests the opportunity to upload large files as well. This is very ideal when sending home videos back and forth while deployed. Often I find myself not being able to access the programs or software that I need on other computers. This was resolved by giving me the ability to download the software from any location. This also helps when collaborating on a document or a project. Everyone can contribute and edit.

Use Version Control for Checkin/Checkout

Once you start using this, you will being to notice you are not sure which file is newer. Example; you edited a document and you want to modify it again. Which is newer? The one local or the one remote? Well, this is remedy with version control in a process known as Checkin/Checkout. This is especially important when doing collaboration or projects where multiple people have access to a file. If the file has been updated, you need to update your local file before modifying it. This is where Checkin/Checkout steps in.

View Documents Online, with No Download

Even though the files and media is not local, this does not mean you have to download it to open it. Open documents directly and instantly online and don’t bother with the task and the delay of even having to download the file. Network accessing is just like using a local folder. Most wouldn’t even know the difference if you didn’t even tell them.

Photos, Video and Audio Streaming

This option I take the most advantage of and it is the future of the internet. At a moments notice have photographs, graphics, image documents, videos and music files immediately without waiting for a download! Media streaming and photo albums can be shared with family back home of your travels from around the world. Streaming lets you enjoy videos as you download.

Search File Text, Tags and Comments

When you starting using this, you see find endless opportunity and options that you never had before. There will be so many files that having a search feature is necessary. Easily find your files with tags and comments or by directly searching the text in a file. Most have their files jumble around on all sorts of media and disks. Having all files in one area allows for easier searching and cataloging.

Encryption, Secure FTP, Secure WebDAV

A concern for everyone today, especially with the internet, is security can keeping data private. Starting with the basic protection from password and registration technology, IBackUp uses defense-in-depth strategy to protect your data. Servers are continuously monitored for network attacks 24 x 7. Multiple levels of redundancy protection with regular backups of user data on separate raid devices to allow quick recovery. Periodic third party scans and audits are carried out to test the integrity of the infrastructure and applications.

This is all great, but most of you have not caught half of what I have explained and have not fully grapsed the concept. Each day I find new and different ways to use this feature and it is a system that will continue to expand. Once you start using it you will easily see how it is just like any other folder on your computer, and resolve multiple of issues at once!
