In order for you to be able to share files, or access them through a web browser, it means your files have to be decrypted. I'd perfer not to send my personal files to a company that has the ability to access my files by decrypting them. With all the security threats lately such as divShare and Heise Security there is no way I'd want my files available to hackers. I'd perfer to stay with a company like Carbonite, where the only way to decrypt your files is through the client on your computer. Sorry Memopal, but there are too many issues with start-ups these days to risk it.

I discovered a Memopal (www.memopal.com) "cutting edge solution for online
backup"

They merged online backup, online storage and file sharing services into one product.

If you try this service you will notice that (contrary to most competitors):
- You can access your files in (true) real time with a web browser
- They really offer 250 GB (some competitors offer a fake unlimited web
space, they say "fair use")
- You can share a file or many files with the 1-click-share functionality
- Some of your files will be uploaded very very fast (turboupload)
- The service and website are in 10 different languages

I've also found two useful guide to online backup on Wikipedia:

Mozy doesn't really offer syncing capabilities, just pure back-up. I'll let you know how I get on.

Let me know how you get on... I've been using BeInSync for a couple of years. I find it slow, amazingly resource hungry and unreliable.
