Cloud Storage WithOUT Needing a Dedicated App?

[Ray Tackett]

I'm interested in reasonably-priced could storage on the order of 50Gb. Every service I've looked at has some invasive app that's on line all the time, automatically syncing files. NO WAY! I just want to ba able to log on, upload my encrypted zip files, and download them again as needed. Anybody know a service which does not require use of their app?

I use SOS. They don't necessarily do auto uploading (but could, I think). I use their program for uploading. It may be required but if so it may not meet your needs.

Ray: does Drop Box work?

I'm pretty sure you can just use the web clients for many of these services, and not use their local apps. I got sick of Drop Box wanting to get in my knickers everywhere, and deleted all the local apps, but can still get to stuff using the web.

Thanks, folks. I share John's opinion of Dropbox, plus having to block their emails. Support at Icedrive has given me fast answers which induce me to sign up. Likely today.

Ray,

Did you see my post in this section on free cloud storage? I'm not sure if it is any help or not?

[Ray Tackett]

Thanks, Bill. The freebie limits are kinda low for what I'd like to have in an offsite backup. It was your post that got me looking again after dropping Certain Safe. Those guys "upgraded:" their site javascript into unusability.
