AOL is now offering an online backup service called XDrive ([http://www.xdrive.com/]). This service is actually quite impressive from a feature standpoint. It offers the following:
- 5 GB of storage space
- Secure transfer
- Web access from anywhere
- Automatic backups
- Sharing and collaboration features
Considering the price is 0, if you do not already have another medium outside your primary hard drive to store your vital files, or you simply want to have easy access to your files from anywhere, XDrive may be the right service for you.
