I've finally decided to organize my computing life. I'm putting all of my mp3 music files into cloud storage. Cloud storage is a system where I can store my files remotely online and access them securely over the Internet. This way, I'll free up my hard drive, the countless thumb drives I own, and my backup drive as well, and I'll be able to access all of my music files when I'm traveling, as long as I can log into any wifi connection. And music files don't contain sensitive or personal information, so I'm not really concerned about security. You can email a file from your Copy.com drive if you like, or you can share it securely with anyone you choose.
There are tons of free cloud storage offers out there, but the one that keeps popping up as one of the best is on Copy.com. They will give you 15gb of free storage automatically, but when you sign up through someone else's referral link, you'll get an additional 5gb. If you tweet about their service on Twitter, they'll throw in an additional 2gb. (Note that you can tweet about their service, delete the tweet and disconnect your accounts immediately after they give you the extra 2gb, if you so choose.) So that's 22gb that you can get IMMEDIATELY upon signup. Then, if you refer someone, you can get an additional 5gb. One of the nicest things about this service is that there is no restriction on file size, so if you want to upload a long and huge video, you can, as long as it doesn't exceed the amount of space that you have. I'm going to upload my wedding video.
So, let's get started. Here's my referral link. If you sign up through my referral link, you'll be able to get 22gb instead of 17gb if you sign up on your own. Feel free to post your own referral links on the Daily Cheapskate Facebook page after you've signed up.
I really like the Copy.com service. It feels good to get those enormous music files out of my hard drives and free up some space.
