The online storage tools are going to be a wonderful resource. I registered with the Yahoo Briefcase and had no difficulty transferring files. I have so many files on my flash drive that I seldom use but don’t want to delete or use up storage on my hard drive. However, I will not give up my flash drive. For the most part, these sites will be useful to back up my existing files and also make them accessible from remote locations. It would be a mistake for school to stop hosting student and employee files on our own locations. When internet connections become compromised, access to work files also becomes compromised and impact productivity. The only concerns I see for students posting files to these storage site is somehow losing access or, in the case of shared files, student using other’s work as their own.
