Is there a website where I can save files?

[Guest ape shall not kill ape]

Hello.

 

Currently, I don't have internet connection at home.

I can only access internet thru the library. But, the library

computer doesn't allow me to burn cds.

 

Is there a website where I can save program files from another website

or one where I can save downloaded program files?

 

I would like to download a program file and then save it in a website

until I can get internet connection at home. The reason I want to do

this is because I'm not sure the website that offers the file will be

around for long. It might go away.

 

I would just like to save it in a website until the day I can get

internet connection at home. Then, I'll be able to download the file

from my website to my home computer and then burn it on cd.

You say that the library doesn't allow you to burn CDs. Do they allow you

to do anything else? For example, can you plug a flash drive into a USB

port? A portable hard drive? Do you have a digital camera or MP3 player or

cellphone that can be connected and appear as a drive to the computer and

not require special drivers or control programs. For example I can connect

my old Creative Zen Nano to a computer and it looks like an external disk

drive requiring no special software but if I connect my new Zen it demands

that Creative's software be installed.

There are lots of them. I do NOT recommend any of these, but I don't

recommend against them either; I have no experience with them. They are

just a few Google hits, in no particular order:

Be sure to read the fine print: Some want an awful lot of personal

information that's just plain silly and never give them a credit card

number. There's lots more on google.com.

Get a Gmail (or other) account. Send yourself an email from the library with

the file as an attachement. Gmail currently allows (I think) five gigabytes

of storage.

I would concur, but:

 

To send as an attachment you would need to save it to the hard drive first.

Does the Library allow that?

 

And what's the attachment size limit with Gmail?

Dunno that they HAVE a limit - it would be easy to test, though. We

routinely send backups as Gmail attachements, some files are 20 megabytes or

so.

 

Hint: Gmail doesn't allow .ZIP files as attachements, so we have to rename

the zip files to a .PIZ extension. Works swell.
