Default Online File Storage & More

Just one short week away from throwing out the slow, corrupted, three year old PB Easynote to rev up the shiny new Samsung Netbook. Fast comps make me smile.

Don't have any external storage drives & don't wanna buy one as my Christmas Night out is on tuesday & its going to be HUGE! Don't wanna link up laptop-netbook for file transfer in case any "bad files" which are currently hidden in my Easynote's archives get over to the new machine & screw with it before I even start using it.

Anyone know of any good, fast tranfer, free online file storage sites? I've got about 4GB of music, 2GB of photos & about 500MB of miscellaneous uni work, texts, spreadsheets & the like.

Also, I don't have my ipod touch anymore but still use itunes. Will logging into itunes on the new netbook bring my purchased files over or do I have to transfer some kind of file over also. I don't fancy searching for & downloading 113 mp3's this week just so I can keep my music.

One last thing, I'm definitely sold on a Samsung 10.1" netbook. Does anyone have any recommendations as to which one? I've done a lot of research but the only differences I can see affecting the prices are storage & design. DDR2 RAM seems to increase price a bit from the N145 to the N220, wondering if its worth it.

You could get 2GB free with Dropbox and do it in a couple of transfers. You can get extra space for free if you refer other people (which is exactly what I am going now )

Having said that USB memory sticks are cheap as chips.

Dropbox is a good start, I'll use it & refer my other email account to get extra space.

Cheers for the input.

If you want to load up FileZilla, I can give you ftp access to my boomspeed account. Unlimited storage and bandwidth.
