    Hey, I am looking for cloud services from some provider who would acecpt laser payment. Which would also have low packages (Don't want to pay 50 euro a month for something I don't use). I would need only around 2-3 GB space. Any suggestions?

    Just read rules about no discussion of hosting companies. But this is not meant to discuss, just need a suggestion? (sorry mods, first time posting in this section of boards, correct me if I am wrong)

    I'll leave this open as long as any suggestion made is just a suggestion and no slating of companies.

    IE: I found x company good.

    cloud services I meant as in 24/7 access to files from anywhere, and for just storage. So let's say I can sit at home work on my project then in college login and get same files from there.

    Why not use Dropbox? It comes with 2GB as standard, and each referral you give to somebody earns you another 250MB, up to 8GB (so 10GB total, which is what I have). It's free, simple yet feature rich.

    If all you need is access to a few Gigabytes of files at home and at college ... wouldn't a USB stick be the simplest option?

    (If you really want a network solution, Dropbox as suggested earlier, or Google Docs should work for you.)

    Sugarsync gives you 5GB for free and can sync across all your devices.

    Would definitely recommend dropbox for what your looking for, everything else is overkill.
