Only sites that offered 1GB or more of storage were listed, anything less was too small. If you need more storage (and fewer restrictions) many of these sites offer premium plans for a fee.
The sites are placed into two categories based on the type of storage they offer:
Temporary Hosting Sites
Are you looking for a place to temporarily hold a large file so that you can email it, or to host content (such as media) for your web site or blog. Then check out the list of sites below, they allow you to quickly upload just about any file where it can be access by people whom you make its link available to. The file you upload will generally automatically be deleted after a specific amount of time has passed.
Note: The amount of storage, and how long the file can be stored will vary, check the site's storage policy for specific details.
- SendOver - 2GB Storage
- MegaShares - 1.5GB Storage
- Badongo - 1GB Storage
- BIGfileupload - 1GB Storage
- TrasferBigFiles - 1GB Storage
- YouSendIt - 1GB Storage
Are you looking for a site that specializes in online file storage, and won't automatically delete your files if you have not used them in a while. These sites are great for holding backups of your files, or acting as a transfer point for moving data from one computer to another computer (such as from home to work and back).
Note: Most of these sites have some type of transfer limits (i.e.: how much you can upload or download) which vary from site to site.

One nice tip I can give you all is that if you have not tried IBackup for Windows, then you are really missing something. You should try IBackup to get real value for your money.
IBackup has got an array of impressive features that let you backup and restore files and folders. None other than PC World has recently rated IBackup as the `best all-around backup service’ in a recent review of online backup services. IBackup is secure online data storage, access and data sharing solution for consumers and businesses and it has several user-friendly interfaces and options to store, retrieve and manipulate your data.
With 128-bit SSL security, you can backup and restore files without consuming too much bandwidth, as the application does incremental and compressed backups. There are easy-to-use wizards for interactive backups, restores and backup/restore scheduling. Another advantage of using an IBackup account is that the `Mirror path’ option enables you to maintain the exact directory structure of files or folders selected for backup from your computer. The `Snapshots’ feature allows an IBackup account holder to view files and folders stored in the IBackup account during the previous days. IBackup for Windows maintains the log of all the sessions of interactive and scheduled backups or restore and the user can watch them.
Map your online account as a local drive in your computer and edit and save files or folders in the account with IDrive. It also allows users to directly open and save files stored in their IBackup online account from associated applications like Microsoft Office. IDrive supports SSL encryption for data security.
You can also avail of features provided by IDrive Multimedia , which is an advanced drive mapping technology that can stream multimedia content using your favorite media player. You can also create create Sub-Accounts for collaborative online storage and access and also create sub-sections within your main account to provide fine-grained access control.
You can also checkout IBackup for Quicken, which performs near real time backup of the Quicken/ QuickBooks' files to your IBackup account. Web-Manager is used to create, webload and rename folders and sharing data. Create sharable links with Web-Manager and email these links to those with which you like to share data. You can also private share data with another IBackup user instantly as part of your collaborative efforts. So give IBackup a try, it will not disappoint you.
Can I add one to the list, a file storage site called EggDisk with 4GB of free file storage, and it is legit.
wonderful list and very useful post.
