Easy place to save and access documents online

[alysomji]

My father is an old man and wants an easy place to save his documents (Excel and Word files) online for later access.

Can anyone suggest a place that would be most suitable for someone who is not very computer literate?

Thanks

Hmmm ... Easy to use .... How about sending himself emails (ie. hotmail, gmail ... etc) with those files as attachments ?

Or if those files are private, how about storing all those files in a USB drive so that he can carry it with him all the time ?

There are a couple of free services coming soon. In September, AOL will provide 5GB of free online storage on XDrive to anyone who uses AIM...

Google is working on a similar service called GDrive (codename Platypus).

Both should provide shell extensions so that you can store and retrieve files just like any other drive on your local computer (drag and drop, etc).

mozy.com?
gives you 2GB free space/backup
I think 5 referrals give you extra 2GB to 4GB total


or Maxthon Access? (Maxthon = MyIE2 browser)
