Online back-up storages are now the easiest and the most convenient way to save your financial records, documents, photos, and music. Drop Box is cloud-based, automatic, and a file-synchronization service which can be put in a single folder. While SkyDrive is a webmail based online storage just like Google Docs. Anyway, there are a lot of options to choose from. It’s up to you which one would work best.
