Question Cloud for Personal Use

Hi,

My laptop's slowly running out of memory, probably due to the large amount of music and photos i've got loaded on it. I'd like to back this stuff up and host it on a 'cloud'. Where do i start? Can individual users do this sort of thing? I'm with BT Broadband, do they have one that you can just pay extra to upload things to?

Thanks for your help!

Oli

Personally i would rather transfer it to an external hard drive and back up photos on disc than trust putting stuff that you dont want to lose on a commercial set up.

Dropbox seems pretty stable but no substitute for a good NAS (Network attached Storage) setup.
