2. ADrive
Adrive is in my opinion the one of the best file storage website out there. It gives you 50GB of free online storage. You can upload up to 200 files at once with an upload limit of 2GB. It uses a handy Java applet and works with Linux, Mac and Windows. When you go to the Adrive website you will see a big green ad saying 50GB free trial, don't let this bother you. It is a free trial of there PLUS service but the basic service is still 50GB as described above.
