I want to store my small projects in a free and secure online storage space. I have heard of online storage services. Can you suggest any free and secure online storage sites where I can keep a copy of my projects for safety?

Michael S. Mimoso, Editorial DirectorYou should remember that "free" and "online" are pretty much going away, let alone ones that are secure. Most people giving free Net storage have decided they can't make money doing that, and they are charging.
Having said that, CryptoHeaven (www.cryptoheaven.com) offers a secure online storage system. They have a free option, but it is very limited. You can also look at Hush Communications, as they have secure Webmail (which is very close to secure storage).
Realistically, though, if you want secure online storage, you're probably going to have to pay for it.
