These days it’s nearly impossible to keep your life organized. In an age where people exchange hundreds of emails, texts, instant messages and tweets every single day, it’s hard to keep all your important information together in one convenient place.
Over the past few years, however, cloud-based storage platforms have provided us with increasingly simple ways to finally get our lives back in order. Instead of carrying around a USB stick or external hard drive, cloud computing allows us to access out important documents from any web-connected device.
If you still find yourself printing out documents for future reference or dragging files to your USB drive, it’s time to get up to date by using any one of the following five excellent cloud storage platforms.
Evernote
Evernote is a popular and streamlined cloud-based storage platform. Any document you save on Evernote can be accessed through your computer, tablet, or smartphone. From there, all your documents are completely searchable and can be placed into neatly organized folders. Evernote allows an unlimited amount of free storage, but uploads are restricted to 50MB per file.
Symform
If you’re trying to back up your entire hard drive online, finding free cloud storage is nearly impossible. It’s just not feasible for a company to pay for all that server space without charging its customers. Fortunately, Symform uses a unique system that allows businesses to store the contents of external hard drives, NAS devices or servers online for free. You get up to 200GB free cloud back up in exchange for unused local storage space on your computer.
When you upload your data to the Symform cloud network, it is encrypted and then stored in fragments across hundreds of other user’s computers worldwide, thus eliminating the need for any server storage. Think of it like a Skype for data storage. All your data can be restored from any computer with an internet connection, allowing you to sleep easy knowing you’ve got a backup of your files stored safe in the cloud.
Google Docs
If it has anything to do with the Internet, you can bet Google has a great free service for it. Such is the case with Google docs, which is excellent for sharing communal documents amongst multiple people. With entirely web-based spreadsheet, word document, and presentation software, Google documents make it possible to envision a world without Microsoft Office. All this, and you’ll never have to worry about forgetting to save your work or losing it to a faulty hard drive— it’s all stored online!
Dropbox
Got a big file like a movie, music album, or large presentation that’s too big to upload through email? Dropbox is the solution for you. While you only get 2 GB of free storage, there is no maximum size per upload, so that HD version of Toy Story you just downloaded can be backed up entirely through their service. With their downloadable application, you can upload easily right from your desktop.
Google Music
Every music lover is just one dropped laptop away from losing their music library for all time. Google Music finally puts this nightmare to rest by providing free cloud storage for your entire library. While the uploading process can take a while (multiple days for large libraries), this is a small price to pay when you can rest assured knowing your music is safely stored online.

I don’t know Atish, I’m still not confident in cloud strorage as security is still very much a concern. Although many had said that it is safe, but I totally doubt that. There’s no way our data will be safe if it is in someone else’s hands. Storing music and movie files on the cloud is still ok, but when it comes to storing personal files or other important data, I prefer to store them offline.

Great post. I myself use Dropbox, Evernote, and Google Docs – and that Symform concept does seem interesting. I like to back up my files to multiple sources – on my computer, on a cloud, and also in an external hard drive. There’s no such thing as being too careful!

Recently I used “EveryNote” and I can say that its an awesome tool. I’ve been using google docs for 1 year and I’m really satisfied with it. Dropbox is also good but It did’nt help me. Thanks for this great post.
i think its a good blog for technology!
Dropbox, has been the end all be all to help me and my team out. It is so nice to be able to work on the same document and even pull up archived versions in case mistakes were made. DropBox is definitely one of my best friends.
Been using Google Docs for my spreadsheets. And its very nice to know that there are software out there that actually very useful by making your life simple. Thanks for the share.

I have just started to use Google Docs, but have been using many of Google’s other services for years. I don’t mind storing information online, and find it very convenient as I can work on my documents from any device that is connected to the Internet.

I’m an avid user of Evernote. Really love it.
Google docs is great as well. And I think I would love dropbox, but it’s not available in China, so I can’t use it while I’m here.
Nice list Atish.

This is a good article that highlights the possibilities of the Cloud. One of many being that it can offer more flexibility for accessing files, and in turn making collaboration easier.
Hi Atish,
I use Evernote so far, but very interested on trying DropBox.
Have heard a lot about it, the only thing that keeps me delaying using DB is because I am happy with evernote.
Cheers
Hans
