Thanks a lot to these VivilProject partners, too

Below contains the list of free box online storage which also permit to keep your documents for a long term or "for life" in a private area, some services permit to share some of your contents but it is not the first need...
In the last part of this document, you will see some URLs to help you to manage your data as online java splitters, a dictionnary and more and more...
IN 2009, A LOT OF SERVICES HAS DECREASED THEIR OFFERS, QUICKLY
CLOSED OR HAVE BECOME UNSTABLE/EXPENSIVE
IMHO 2010 WILL NOT BE GOOD EITHER :-(
CHOOSE SEVERAL SERVICES TO UPLOAD SENSITIVE DATAS EXCEPT IF U LOVE RISK.
Just click on the title you want to sort table as you wish ;)
(I'm working on a charter v1.02: By choosing this free account, i agree
(whatever old, actual or new ToS/AUP or price list):
(I'm working on a charter v1.02: By choosing this free account, i agree
(whatever old, actual or new ToS/AUP or price list):
- My free account will be automatically suspended without warning if the free
service is closed and you decide not to upgrade to paid account.
- information and/or data i given is my property and must be private by
default.
- Because these ToS will be regurarly monitored by online tools, the webpage
(a) must be deleted if content becomes not used or outdated AND
(b) can not be changed/blocked/deleted "on the fly" depending of country, IP,
browser/user-agent or other method(s) like
PHP/Ajax/ASP/JS/Java/Flash/Air/Mono/SilverLight scripts or tools which can be
added on the ToS page... in other words, tools i use must give me when i want
real updated ToS webpage than every customer who can read and accept to access
to the service.
- Classical approach as nospam, nowarez (and maybe nosex depending of the
service) are applicable for the end user.
This charter replaces ToS part is valid forever except if you choose a paid
account, the return to a free offer automatically valid again this charter.
This charter also permit to avoid scam / fraud / free trial masked by a 100%
free offer) and give you the guarantee to never pay It is near of mandatory
to print this document to keep a proof coz lot of services can forgot them.

FTP monothread: means you can not upload more than one file in same time. FYI (depending of the FTP service), the transfert is either refused without reason or either it loops forever.
HOTLINK
RAID0 data security: None (only increase performances).
RAID1 data security: Data is copied in 2 disks in real time [1 disk can crash, every TB of the new disk can be rebuilded in 2009 in less than 30 minutes].
RAID5 data security: Same as RAID1.
RAID6 data security: Data is copied in 3 disks in real time [2 disks / 3 can crash in same time but every TB of every crashed disk(s) can be rebuilded in 2009 in about 24 hours].
RAID10 (AKA's RAID1+0) data security: Same as RAID1.
RAIN data security: Data is copied in X disks in real time. More you have/add disks on the pool, more the security is better...
(1) In others words, "Do you make backup of our backups ?"
(2) This case explain if other methods are available, some services permit to using WebDAV or downloading a classical HTTP or FTP URLs instead of the classical hard-disk file selection thanks to your browser. Notice some services can offer proprietary software but i do not privilegiate this kind of services so my document does not follow it for this table ;)
(3) Test launched since my VPS (thanks to NFRANCE again for this gift ;)
(4) Do not forget this "limited" word is relative because some unlimited services can be so slow that limited service is better than unlimited... A small well known tip (if you do not have a fixed IP) is to reboot your modem to obtain a new IP
(5) For testing services which refuses non-multimedia files, i have created a 100MB unheardable/uncompressable MP3 file which is a horrible mix of two TechnoDance NEXUS group albums, this test file as the original song are on CreativeCommons licence.
(6) Some services can use private/public folder *OR* secret URL for individuals or grouped content. Please read help to know methods before registering
Q: Every services i have choosen are closed, i have lost my data forever ! i hate you !
A: You're not lucky, i repeat again and again and again and again lot of these services are unstable or can change its ToS without inform you (and me) sic ! Next time i hope you will pay a professionnal service or your own dedicated server / VPS.
Q: What's about file encryption for file backup services ?
A: This kind of option is not checked by me sorry.
Q: Why tables contains a lot of empty field ?
Q: Why you do not list services with file history (able to recover old backup data since X days) ?
A: Too many services listed on this document changes every day and gives me a lot of works.
Q: Why you do not speak about GDISK, GSPACE and GMAIL DRIVE here ?
A: I do not like workaround method for storage... and also they are on this list some great and free REAL storage services which can give you the same (or even better) QoS than Google ! Google is not perfect, in 2006 he has destroyed emails forever by error
Q: Why your FAQ(s) are ugly ?
A: I prefer wasting my time to update documents instead of graphic shemes...
Q: Why you list too many services ? It is really annoying !
A: Because small services *can* be better than big services... I believe that bad-businessplan/unstable services will not stay forever on my list(s) but i totally agree they are too many services which are a "carbon copy" of another service(s) and does not bring news things for users :-X
Q: RAID5 or RAID6 really gives a security ?
A: The calculated guess / unguaranteed risk to losing some datas is about 1 / 3 billion in RAID5 and 1 / 55 billions in RAID 6 (UNVERIFIED NUMBERS I REPEAT AGAIN)
(Bonus URL) A Google PDF which explain disk failures
RAID5 with a risk of 3%/year/HD crash = (0.03*((1/365/(1/(24*2)))))*(0.03*((1/365/(1/(24*2)))))
RAID6 with a risk of 3%/year/HD crash = (0.03*(1/365))*(0.03*(1/365))*(0.03*(1/365))
(of course as explained in the google doc, 3% stays a false fixed value coz it depends of HD quality, date of crash (most of crash durates before 6 month and after 2 years) and more and more... i repeat again and again and again all these values are calculated guess !!!
Q: How to do on this list ?
A: Your service must:
- be 100% free or have a free offer,
- be in English (or French ;),
- permit to upload minimum 5 GB per file with 30 days retention after latest download *OR* 100 MB per file with unlimited storage (professionnal services or WebOS with high QoS are added whatever size it offers. Free FTP/WebDaV uploads services can be added too with specific low conditions),
- display all these states quoted below in your main page, TOS or FAQ and do not claim vague things as e.g "Your files will never expire as long as they're often downloaded" because it is sure for me in all case i immediatly forgot your service because i'm not a forecaster sic !
- not sucks ! force to download adwares or answer to surveys to grab wanted file, can not download my tiny test file after upload, refuse extension file after the end of upload, too restrictive conditions or changed restrictions are given after upload or before download, abandonned website, too busy when we wish to download a file (but not enough for displaying ads), purpose space disk lower than promised, create a (c) 2006 when domain name exist since 2008, answers to my mail more than 2 months, does not works under Linux, accept upload and reject files at the end of transfer because disk are full since a lot of months, lot of 404 errors, no email contact excepting the WHOIS ask your twitter/facebook/myspace password, does not warn X weeks before the account, cancellation, explain they use RAIN or RAID without other information and more and more... this list grows every month sic !
Q: I'm not agree with your bad comment about my site ! I will immediatly call my lawyer and blahblahblahblahblah...
A: Are you very furious ? It is generally i have REALLY wasted my time with you...
Of course, nobody is perfect and i can do an technical error... (i think to WATCHOUR monitoring service in one of my publication) but it's a pity than too many services forget his customer relations, as quicky reply to comments or bug reports: I can see since November 2008 my
Q: Why you spoken of my "ToS" ?
A: Because one of your competitor well remembered me than i must read ToS ;)
Q: Do you accept partnerships ?
A: I'm only open to win-win offer(s) so do not waste our time to unfair deal(s) as poorly affiliations, "PR 0" link exchange and more and more...
A Bonus URL for you ;)
Same kind of gift ;)
